Yep. Copyright protects stuff like open source software (GPL license and others) and ensures it stays open and creators get credit. This article is making the case for AI to steal all that for itself. Copyright isn’t inherently a bad thing, the way it’s used and abused is. You can thank Disney for making copyrights seem like a negative thing all because they wanted to hold on to their damn mouse for centuries. They themselves also profited (and still do) off of works they didn’t originally create, like Bambi, Cinderella, etc.
AI firms would directly benefit from tighter copyright laws, it guarantees them a soft monopoly and kills any open source solution that can be run by individuals for free.
They will gladly pay Getty, Deviant art, Reddit, etc, if it means they can charge a monthly subscription to most businesses and individuals.

Yup. AI firms have $ billions at stake.

Except for all of the copyright they have violated and not paid for. (This is a broad brush.)
