> If all training requires a license, then none but a handful of tech giants will be able to afford the costs of training.

If the tech giants can afford the costs of training, the licenses aren't expensive enough. It should be affordable to license works for reasonable use. It should not be affordable to vacuum up the entire Internet and build an AI that competes with everyone.

I agree strongly with you but the ship has sailed, it's much too late to stop:/

I'd like to see the companies (and individuals inside them) held accountable for this though.

There is no useful point to "accountable" other than "make it stop happening". The ship has not sailed. We can and should stop it.
