That’s what they already do today. OpenAI is an obvious example in our industry but another one is where companies steal clothing designs from indigenous communities all over America. These people can not really defend or assert themselves in US copyright system, so US companies just engage in full on resource extraction without any compensation.

New or traditional stuff? Copyright shouldn't be how you defend your traditional stuff. It's more something for the Protected Designation of Origin / PDO

Clothing design is difficult to copyright. I'm pretty sure just about anyone can defend themselves in the US copyright system. Sure it becomes difficult when you are a small fry (whether indigenous or not) against a big fish, but it can be done.
