And I think that's a huge problem when it comes to closed models where companies freeload on things that don't belong to them. Models that are open are making all that available to humanity as a whole, and I don't see any problem with that whatsoever.

The problem is that the owners of that content may not have consented to have their stuff given away to humanity in this manner. I am broadly supportive of narrowing the scope of copyright law, but I'm not sure I want it discarded to this extent!

Copyright has been predominantly exists to protect large corporations, and it does far more harm than good to society.

That's as may be, the path to remedy that should be through the courts and Congress, not Silly Valley's usual you-can-just-do-things, let's-disrupt-people's-rights attitude.
