Odd thing about cookies… they disappear after one serving.
Websites are an endless stream of cookies.
The analogy doesn’t hold.

If copying content from harddrive to another is theft, then so is DNA copying itself.
Everything is a Remix culture. We should promote remix culture rather than hamper it.

Fine.
Me and my 9 friends stand around the cookie-serving person blocking everyone else.
It's taking all the cookies over a period of time.
The analogy was good.
how about this analogy: I created a most tasty cookie recipe. I give it out for free, and all copies have my name because I am vain person who likes to be known far and wide as the best baking chef ever. Is it ok to get the recipe, remove my name, and write in LLM-Codex as the creator? again, i'm ok with giving the recipe for free, i just want my name out there.

From a legal perspective, it's a pretty clear "no". The instructions in recipes aren't copyrightable. The moral question is more ambiguous, but it's still pretty weak. Most recipes are uncredited, and it's unclear why someone can force everyone to attribute the recipe to them when all they realistically did was tweak the dish a bit. In the example above, I doubt you invented cookies.
i'm curious, do you honestly think the argument was about recipes and cookies? maybe it was an analogy? looking back up the comment tree, it does seem to be an analogy, not a discussion about ACTUAL cookies and ACTUAL recipes.

Digital information may be our first post-scarce resource. It's interesting, and sad, to see so many attempt to fit it within scarcity-based economic models.

Hmm.
But the word digital is distracting us.
The word information is the important one. The question isn't where information goes. It's where information comes from.
Is new information post scarcity?
Can it ever be?
Bandwidth and compute constraints make websites all but an endless stream though.
That's exactly it. It costs me real time and money to serve the 97% of fake traffic that just takes without giving me anything in return.
