Thanks!
Sadly though - I think it is a bit of a "closing the gate after the horse has left the barn" situation...
I am assuming some of those agencies (the really dishonest ones, i.e., shutterstock that quickly 'sold' the assets THEN said 'ah! here's an opt out) - sold them to the "main" companies (i.e., chatGPT/midjourney/etc that already stole tons of data) - and the only new "data deals" would be new "startups" that are like 'oh gee whiz! we should make an 'AI' image thing!)...
So it is really only hurting 'new competition' (which I suppose those companies wanted, because it is a company tactic - get massive market share - then once you do - impose all sorts of 'rules' and 'regulations' to make it very difficult for new players to get on board so you can enjoy a monopoly)... only its a slight 'twist' here in that once they (the 'major' players) did a quick steal + "purchase" via deception plan - THEN they had the "opt-out" buttons to make it more difficult for new players to enter the market... sneaky + dishonest...
Anyways, thanks for providing the links.
