This is, just to be clear, not remotely how copyright works.
By that logic, I could decide that movie studios have to opt out of me watching their movies for free, and if they don’t then it’s legal for me to pirate them. See how insane that sounds?
Copyright is automatic and presumptive, and takes effect without any action on the behalf of the holder (this is distinct from trademarks, which have to be actively defended). There is no such thing as “opt out” use of copyrighted works.

That sounds perfectly fine to me. This is now the official policy of all the serviced provided by gravitywell.xyz

I think the intellectual property regime is an inhuman abomination and advocating in its favour should be a criminal act.
If it is not destroyed, AI companies will use it to completely enslave us.
AI companies ARE already the government, we should strive to disempower them at every turn before it’s too late.
