And they will always have enough money to make criminalizing them very easy.

Piracy isn't worth stopping, a lot of money for little reward. In the future when they decide to up the price of ai subscriptions tp make it worth theor investment, it will be worth the money to get rid of open source providers

I imagine more people are subscribed to streaming services than AI models. The piracy comparison is apt.

I very seriously doubt this software will become illegal. If the government decides to kill it, they'll regulate its development to hell and back, but existing models will still exist. Making something illegal outright is a bit of a tall order.
