They should ban AI too then, because most of them have been trained on pirated content.
If you deny civilians access to content but grant AI the access, what are you trying to accomplish?

One Dutch-language AI project was actually shut down by the copyright lobby exactly for that reason. They did it voluntarily (knowing they'd probably lose in a lawsuit plus pay a fine to boot) but it shows that these people are perfectly fine attacking AI projects.
The big ones, though, they don't dare to go up against those. You can't bully OpenAI into submission and threats of spurious lawsuits, you have to actually win, and they don't have an interest in taking that risk.
