"Here's What to Do Instead" misleading title, no alternatives suggested. Just hand-wavey GenAI agitprop.

These are their alternatives:

What neither Big Tech nor Big Media will say is that stronger antitrust rules and enforcement would be a much better solution. What’s more, looking beyond copyright future-proofs the protections. Stronger environmental protections, comprehensive privacy laws, worker protections, and media literacy will create an ecosystem where we will have defenses against any new technology that might cause harm in those areas, not just generative AI.

None of their alternatives will work or solve the problems that creatives face or the problem that people cannot think for themselves any longer (as seen by the downvoting in this submission).

>the problem that people cannot think for themselves any longer (as seen by the downvoting in this submission).

Quite an interesting take to assume that everyone who disagrees with you cannot think for themselves.

I read that as the problem that people are relying on LLMs to do things for them rather than actually learning the thing themselves. Which is real but it's unclear what it has to do with copyright.
