With the way Copyright now lasts roughly forever and covers roughly everything then it can't expect to be respected. Copyright owners have used their power to tilt the bargain entirely in their favour. They have only themselves to blame if people increasing don't want to obey their rules.
Yeah you're right, it's totally justified to steal the work of still living artists without their permission to build massive for profit systems to automate their jobs away because some corporations have abused copyright.
Not sure while they are complaining. Even if have a AI read their work is "stealing" they'll still be making money from their copyright for the next 100 years at least.
The "artists" seem to be as happy to abuse copyright as the corporations.
