And what about the open source models? Or the AI companies in countries that have more lax copyright laws? (Japan for example)

This technology exists now. We can't put the genie back in the bottle. Copyright came out of the printing press, which allowed cheap copies to be made. Now a new technology has emerged so we likely need a new set of rules to replace the role that copyright performed, which was incentivizing artistic creation
