Tech companies argued in comments on the website that the way their models ingested creative content was innovative and legal. The venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which has several investments in A.I. start-ups, warned in its comments that any slowdown for A.I. companies in consuming content “would upset at least a decade’s worth of investment-backed expectations that were premised on the current understanding of the scope of copyright protection in this country.”

Can someone rephrase me ? I've read it two times and I really don't get it
A scammer made unreasonable promises to investors and is now warning everyone that their victims/investors are going to lose money when the process of making fair laws takes the typical amount of time that it always takes.
As Robert Evan’s put it: “If we can’t steal every book ever written, we’ll go broke!”
They made investments and projections on their business based on the current laws and they'll be sad if the laws change now.
