Why forbid it when you could do exactly what this post suggests: go explicit and say that by including this copyrighted material in AI training you consent to release of the model. And you clarify that the terms are contractual, and that training the model on data represents implicit acceptance of the terms.
Taken to an extreme:
"Why forbid selling drugs when you can just put a warning label on them? And you could clarify that an overdose is lethal."
It doesn't solve any problems and just pushes enforcement actions into a hopelessly diffuse space. Meanwhile the cartel continues to profit and small time users are temporarily incarcerated.

It doesn't follow. The reverse is more likely: If you end prohibition, you end the mafia.
