As a society, modern humanity has decided that capitalism is more important than free electricity, even if it saves lives.

We have enough electricity that everyone in the USA could have a generous free allowance.

We've decided it's better to charge for electricity, and if an AI company can pay for it to train models, but someone freezing to death in their home cannot pay for it, that capital is a signal that the data-center should get the electricity, not the dying individual.

This isn't a matter of copyright, this is a matter of how we structure society.
