Absolutely right, we're spending money on moat lawyers instead of iterating.
China is also where 2 copyrights have been granted, way ahead of us legally. One AI assisted art, the other an AI app.
Meanwhile our answer is NOT HUMAN!
AI doesn't have moats...imo. And it's not limited to deep pockets.

OpenAI and the moonshot meet Deepseek truth....
Sam Altman practicing the pitch.
Good the money was all promise and compute.
Should stop assuming we're the greatest xxx,
you don' t need VC money to compete in this world.
At least if you don't hire SV/Austin/SF execs.
While the death gets more headlines, the cost is inspiring. Not surprising well paid execs don't/can't think like startups. AI Native here we come....AI Eats Software.
๐ฑ "Without creative humans, we're not building futures. We're automating the past."
Early days:
Engineers built open-source communities
Artists shared under Creative Commons
Neither expects riches
Those freely shared creations build $100B companies.
What if the AI/creator divide isn't a divide?

Eternal You is coming out this Friday on Amazon, Fandango VOD and more.
Think Ray Kurzweil's take on this is interesting, how about some views of AI replicas, from all sides.

An Alien, Al, and a Monkey Walk into a Copyright Office...who gets it?

Creators worry - AI eating their work
Engineers starving - for training data
Most arguing about who owns what.
A non-human intelligence got a copyright for 40 years.
Our "super intelligence" gets none yet.
How do we mend fences between creators and engineers?
Let's figure this out together. ๐ค
