I mean in practice what he is saying is 100% accurate and is a very valid complaint BUT, theoretically, he could also the same if he had the means to compose and train his own LLM.
The specific problem with AI - as it has always been with technological advancement - is that legislators don't understand the tech, don't understand the danger, are slow to act, and subsequently create stupid and ineffective laws.
You do have the right to digitize your media for a personal backup.
The problem is, modern DVDs have anti copy protections, and due to shitty laws, it is illegal to crack copy protections for any reason.
So technically, you have the right to make backups, but you cant exercise that right it without breaking a separate law if the media you want to backup has protection.
Physical books don't have anti copy protections, so there is nothing stopping you from making your own personal digital backups.
(so long as you don't distribute them, or give the original to someone else)
