    > LLMs not being copyright laundromats

This a brilliant phrase. You might as well put that into an Emacs paste macro now. It won't be the last time you will need it. And the OP is classic HN folly where programmer thinks laws and courts can be hacked with "this one weird trick".

But they can, just look at AirBnB, Uber, etc.

You mean unregulated hotels and on-demand taxis?

Uber is no longer subsidized (or even cheap) in most places, it's just an app for summoning taxis and overpriced snacks. AirBnB is underregulated housing for nomads at this point.

Your examples sorta prove the point - they didn't succeed in what they aimed at doing, so they pivoted until the law permitted it.

No, lots of jurisdictions outside the US fought back against those shady practices.
