The best open weight models are more that capable to do this. The restrictions are probably being put in place bby Anthropic & OpenAI to have plausible deniability for possibly incoming lawsuits?
If your training is based on downloading & ingesting anything and everything w/o consent you presented evidence that respecting intellectual property is not something you genuinely care about.
So why should your paying (!) users ... unless you'd get any fallout from that.
Incoming lawsuits don't have any chance of winning, but lawsuits in and of themselves are expensive, so I presume it's about appeasing the software industry enough to prevent the lawsuits from happening, in the first place.

Just wait until the Chinese extract the latest weights and bake that into the next version of Qwen, or whatever.
It’s a weird world where we know the Chinese will save us in a few months. But here we are.
