Nono, let stealing the internet first, generate synthetic training data, and then outlaw it to ensure no one else catches up.

Is there going to be a new term called "Data Laundering"?

You create the synthetic data, move it through 10s of entities and then buy it back cheaply from an entity.

Data Laundering is an old term... I was using in more than a decade ago in talks about how unethically gathered private data was being sold to Israeli companies, who then licensed it back to US corporations. It was (probably still is) a way to side step privacy laws.

It's the fireside monopoly approach.

Break the law so you can undercut the real producers, and then buy the rights when they're broke and everything works out for you!
