Not really, musicians used to copy, adapt, or mock other musicians music in the middle ages from what I've read, a famous example was Mozart transcribing the Vatican "secret" song. Same with art, painters have always learned by imitation. History is full of "copyright infringements" (if you look at it with a modern glass), either benevolent of apprentice learning from their masters or adversarial copying the competition.
That it’s been abused by corporate entities is another matter. The fact that some famous musicians sell their whole catalog to companies is also a sign of times changing again.
AI growth as it is here based on preexisting work is directly in confrontation with copyright. And something will have to give in some way. But law will likely not catch up before at least another 10 years, the time needed for most people to really understand/experience the impact of the changes.
