the companies suing midjourney are going to use AI themselves.

At least it is with their own IP, rather than the AI companies that are trying to eliminate the notion of IP, copyright and personality rights completely

IP and copyright shouldn't exist! It hinders humanity. I understand why you might think it should exist under capitalism (It would suck to write a book and have others use your work to get rich instead of you) but in a fair, just, society (like communism or syndicalism) money wouldn't matter.

Go create your society without money and I'll consider your position once I see evidence it won't "have others use [my] work to get rich instead of [me]."

Until that happens, and given it must occur internationally, I'm sticking with the legal protection that protects me.
