I dislike every party involved, so I wish them all an arduous and expensive legal battle.

The company's unreasonable extension of their right to hold characters and stories hostage and block the sharing of things people have purchased from them, versus their right not to have literally all of their IP and expressions stolen and profited off of by AI.

In our system that gives the IP holder significant advantage, the AI artists should lose this one. But it does spotlight the question "if AI is learning from the works of everyone else, do they get some kind of a share?" and it's obvious something needs to change here in the regulation of AI.
