TL;DR: Chinese LLMs (including DeepSeek) are trained on my illegal archive of books and papers — the largest in the world. The West needs to overhaul copyright law as a matter of national security.

Intellectual property as a concept ultimately stifles progress every time it’s been tried. Information wants to be free, and we prosper far more when we accept that reality.
Everyone should read Against Intellectual Monopoly by Michele Boldrin and David K. Levine. It’s on David’s website, Internet Archive, Anna’s Archive, and various bookstores. Feel free to buy or print some copies and distribute them to your favorite people, libraries, bookstores, and congress critters~
