Now you’ve taken away the incentive for me to write more, or for any new author to write a book. Goodbye books I guess.

I'm more than happy to read from authors writing freedom-respecting works instead, thanks.

Although getting rid of the copyright/IP nonsense for works that already exist is a big win on its own.

You missed the point entirely.

Nobody will write books when big companies will just rip them off and take the profits.

I didn't miss it, I just don't buy it. Lots of people create and write in their free time, without any financial incentives whatsoever.

I'm okay with writing books for profit, though. But if your business case depends on artificially limiting what users can do with their copies, then your business is fundamentally unethical, whether it's a one-man company or OpenAI. It's not a bad thing for such a business to go under.
