I think for me it just seemed like they would just get an exception while clamping down harder outside of it, so yeah not really relevant to the broader fight against concepts like "intellectual property". It would just end up as a further tool of consolidation, where businesses can take whatever they want for unspecified purposes like training AI, and actual creators of art and literature get fucked over repeatedly. The AI industry is fighting to further rent-seek on the distillation of social labor while being exempt themselves from the inter-business rentseeking via copyright.
I agree that this is how it would first happen, but I think that in the long term this will cause giants of capitalism to fight and be a useful part of a socialist strategy. Your last sentence describes exactly the contradiction which we have to deal with, but realize that it's just postponing another fight later regardless of which side we support. I tend to think fucking with the sanctity of copyright is more important for this long term strategy
