Content producers that publish their "content" to the public web aren't entitled to dictate what's done with that material.

There's a simple solution. People that publish things can put up a paywall and people can pay what the content is worth.

The thing that AI endangers is not valuable content, it's the SEO clickbait cashcow, and as far as I'm concerned, the faster AI kills that off, the better.

That monetization model is corrupt as hell, produces all sorts of perverse incentives, and is the epitome of the enshittification of the web.

Burn, baby, burn.

Publishing publicly doesn't surrender copyright…

[bgwalter]

Of course they are entitled. They have the copyright, so you cannot reproduce it anywhere by default and the "fair" use issue is not settled.

Valuable content is endangered because writers feel demotivated it their material is just stolen by overfunded big corporations.

Paywalls only work for known publications and not for someone who writes the perfect tutorial on how to solve boot issues in Debian. Why would anyone write that if it's just stolen and monetized without attribution?
