The era of so-called "intellectual property" is over.
You can accept it or not. But it's going to be a lot easier if you do.

So how come Disney still gets upset when I provide copies of their movies on my website as "training set for biological neural networks"?
The problem isn't that IP is dying - in most industries it died ages ago. The problem is that it is now explicitly reserved for the rich.

Why do you care about Disney's emotional outbursts in the first place though?

That's not new - it has always served entrenched interests at the cost of actual artists and entertainers. John Perry Barlow laid this out with great clarity throughout his time with The Grateful Dead, perhaps best here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLbqgG6o1n8
The solution is straightforward -- be rich!
