>Humans routinely do violate copyright law. Plagiarism is a huge problem in many sectors; un-cited direct copies of people's work in violation of fair use is a regular every day occurrence in the human world.

And we need to accept that and get over it, not get better at outlawing it.

I'd say we need to reject it, refuse to get over it, and demand changes to fix copyright law so that humans and AI don't need to risk violating the law in order to learn things and create new works based on what they've learned from what others created before them.
