   I'm not sure I understand what you're arguing for? There are massive companies that collectively profiting off of stolen IP and are now gatekeeping even their paid offerings - surely consumers will rail against this? Personally, I

    > economic growth is essentially tied to the free proliferation of information. Isn't this a good argument for models produced by proliferation of said information to also be open-weight then? Or perhaps your line of thinking is mor
