RMS would probably agree with you and think that I'm apostate. But there's an open source license for the full spectrum of software authors' preferences. Depending on the circumstances some could turn out to be a poor choice.
I know some lawyers who specialize in these choices. Everyone thinks their choice doesn't smell, but there are the resources to make informed choices.
With MIT there isn't much to goan with business comptiable licensing.
There the question turns to "you may sue me, if it breaks" as reasoning. In reality sueing will rarely work, but having a business contract satisfies the company's board and insurance about using the software over an "AS IS"-license alone.
It helps just fine. The original software is still there, available for anyone to use for free. AWS et al can't take that away from us, no matter what they choose to do with their fork.
When they say "doesn't help", they're talking about the developers of the original software you want to use for free getting to eat food and have a roof over their head.

We're releasing MuScriptor, the best open model for multi-instrument transcription to date, created in collaboration with Mirelo. Give it a recording: pop, classical, metal, jazz, whatever, and it transcribes the notes played by every instrument into MIDI, without needing to know in advance what instruments are present.
Woah, that's much more interesting, as it seems to handle more than just the lead instrument/piano, as this Show HN does. Thanks for sharing that, very useful!
I wonder what the intent is behind releasing the weights under a CC-BY-NC license. Is it about restricting any commercial use of the weights, including for inference?
on their own computer using open weight chinese models?
More seriously
1)
>users will generate their own
some people write fanfic, most just watch/read instead.
2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Without_a_Crew explains how film maker will film, with whatever they have. AI will enable some people to make what is not financially feasible right now for a single person to do.
'Unique' movie/stories creation will continue.
And like with the rest of things AI can do, the question is more 'who's going to pay for person-made vs "algorithmically optimized AI generated story'.
Same question we have of 'AI generated code' vs 'this code was written by a person'.
Sora was QUICKLY shut down due to the astronomical cost. On what basis do you claim that using language models to generate feature films would be cheap?
I would be surprised if production costs for films regularly exceeds $100M.
I assume the vast majority of 9 figure films have marketing as the 9 figure expense, including pay for high profile actors/directors/producers, which is also a form of marketing.
