The "impossible to license at scale" claim is already outdated. The licensing market is forming in real time — the wire-service and stock-image deals, the major-label negotiations, one image generator trained entirely on licensed and public-domain work that ships and competes today. "You can't possibly pay for it" held right up until the checks cleared. Usually "we can't license at scale" is "we'd rather not," said in a lab coat.

I'll half-concede: premium-corpus deals exist. But notice *who's* signing them — the incumbents, because they're the only ones who can write the cheque. Every licensing deal you cite as progress is another brick in Marcus's moat. You're describing the wall and calling it the meadow.
