@ddbkultur Danke!
Ich booste aus Prinzip keine Tröts ohne Bildbeschreibung.
Ob es in der Praxis ein Problem ist, kann ich nicht einschätzen.
Ein Vorteil ist, dass der AltText nicht vom Mastodon-Zeichenlimit betroffen ist – aber vielleicht hat openbiblio.social das eh schon hochgedreht.

@fiee
Ich dachte wenns eh im Posting steht können es gleich alle lesen und müssen nicht erst den ALT-Text klicken. Aber vielleicht sollte man tatsächlich prinzipiell was reinschreiben.

The "wildest wild card:

The #USCopyrightOffice has repeatedly stated that works made by AIs aren't eligible for copyright, which is the exclusive purview of works of human authorship. This has been affirmed by courts.

…for any company contemplating selling an #AIgenerated work, the fact that it is born in the #PublicDomain presents a substantial hurdle, because anyone else is free to take that work and sell it or give it away."

@josemurilo @pluralistic I’m curious how they will define “made by AI”

What if AI writes a novel, and a human editor changes one word in every paragraph? “Made by AI?”

What if they rewrite one whole sentence in every paragraph, or simply add a few human-written paragraphs at various points. “Made by AI?”

'In 2020, Tom Lehrer put out a statement saying that he had placed everything he ever wrote in the public domain. His lyrics and sheet music are now available for anyone to use or perform without paying royalties. The statement ended: “Don’t send me any money.” This is unheard-of. Famous performers usually maximise their royalties income.' https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/may/22/my-songs-spread-like-herpes-why-did-satirical-genius-tom-lehrer-swap-worldwide-fame-for-obscurity

Professor Megalow’s Dinosaur Bones
Richard Owen and Victorian Literature
By Richard Fallon

https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/richard-owen-and-victorian-literature/

Richard Owen, the Victorian scientist who first named the “dinosaurs”, claimed that he could identify an animal, even an extinct one, from inspecting a single bone.

There’s something fundamentally off-putting about humans chasing rewards in a system controlled by an algorithm that’s not public domain.

I just don’t feel it’s 1) safe 2) humane 3) smart 4) productive 5) contributing to societies

I wouldn’t mind if it was under public scrutiny and the smartest minds in the universities were working on it, with feedback from the society.

#EU #Italy #PD #PublicDomain #CulturalHeritage: "Third, the Italian legal system fails to safeguard the human and fundamental rights of cultural participation and artistic freedom. By establishing a disproportionate, unnecessary, and hardly accountable mechanism of centralised control over the use of public domain cultural heritage, Italy fails to take a holistic account of all relevant rights and interests at stake, ignoring the rights to access, use, enjoy, and participate in cultural heritage.

The Italian case is not expected to be peculiar nor isolated in the EU. Several Member States feature specific rules on cultural heritage in their national legal system and their interplay with the transpositions of Article 14 CDSM Directive remains, to date, unclear (see, among others, Markellou).

Clear-cut regulatory clarifications and balanced and systematic legal interpretations are utterly needed to address and prevent all potential legal inconsistencies in the interplay between copyright and cultural heritage. This would be significantly more effective if performed at the EU level through legal reform (not excluding interventions on competence rules), specific clarifications by the EU legislator, or autonomous interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU."

Italian courts ignore Art.14 of the #DSM Directive intended to safeguard the #PublicDomain and use cultural heritage laws to engineer new pseudo #copyright. Today we are releasing an independent expert opinion commissioned to Giulia Dore & Giulia Priora on this matter.

#IP #Copyright #PublicDomain: "2024 has been off to a busy start with the long-anticipated arrival of Mickey Mouse and Steamboat Willie in the public domain. Creators have released new games and stories, including a comic that picks up where Steamboat Willie ends. Comedian John Oliver has been showcasing a “Steamboat Mickey” mascot. CBS Sunday Morning even aired a Mickey-inspired celebration of the public domain featuring an interview with CSPD Director Jennifer Jenkins.

This is just the beginning of Mickey’s new life in the public domain. Next year, over a dozen Mickey Mouse cartoons from 1929 will join Steamboat Willie in the public domain. These cartoons continue Disney’s innovative experiments with synchronized sound and include The Karnival Kid, the first film in which Mickey speaks intelligible words. His first words? “Hot dogs! Hot dogs!”

Like other Disney works, The Karnival Kid builds upon prior public domain material. To attract an audience for Minnie Mouse’s “shimmy dancer” performance, the Karnival barker riffs on a 19th Century tune known as “the snake charmer song.” This melody has also been featured in numerous other Disney cartoons and may be familiar to readers from the scores of additional reuses in works ranging from The Simpsons to Ke$ha’s Take It Off." https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/newsletter/April2024/
