I would certainly and accurately use this label for the kind people parroting the same "too difficult" excuse as AI lobby groups for one.
Have they (or you) considered that if it's too difficult to do in a way that respects the consent of the people you're taking from, maybe you shouldn't do it? (Rhetorical question of course, I know you already gave such excuses as "the cat's out of the bag", etc).
Clearly the many creators of the work they're taking from care. Do you only respect consent when you happen to agree with their world view?
Stop reading my messages I've put on the Internet. You're not allowed to get any information from them without my consent. It doesn't matter that it's public information as soon as I post it. You don't have my consent. Why are you still reading? You don't have my consent to read this.
See how stupid that is?
If that's what you want man 😅. I think it's a stupid thing to ask but it should be up to you.
