I am in favor of severely limiting both copyright and advertising, but for the benefit of everyone, not just for the benefit of a few "AI" companies.

And you will not get it. As the AI pump money into lawyers and politicians - they will be the ones profiting from copyright. Total regulatory capture as US AI companies make it illegal to train AI on their output.

The answer is to simply pay for stuff.
There is no viable model where "have stuff but not pay for it" works out.

Remember early internet? The time when it actually cost non-trivial amount of money to post stuff on the web, and there was no expectation that webpage authors would get any money back?
This worked pretty well. Websites were hobby - one might spend their money buying comic books, and someone else might spend the money making and hosting their website.
