Appalling #LERU paper suggests that constitutional duties to impose #copyright restrictions are instrumental for academic freedom. In the real world, even the CJEU acknowledges the tension between copyright and freedom of expression.

C‑516/17 (Spiegel Online GmbH v. Volker Beck) 58 As is clear from the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, for the purpose of striking a balance between copyright and the right to freedom of expression, that court has, in particular, referred to the need to take into account the fact that the nature of the ‘speech’ or information at issue is of particular importance, inter alia in political discourse and discourse concerning matters of the public interest (see, to that effect, ECtHR, 10 January 2013, Ashby Donald and Others v. France, CE:ECHR:2013:0110JUD003676908, § 39). 59 In the light of the foregoing considerations, the answer to the second question is that, in striking the balance which is incumbent on a national court between the exclusive rights of the author referred to in Article 2(a) and in Article 3(1) of Directive 2001/29 on the one hand, and, on the other, the rights of the users of protected subject matter referred to in Article 5(3)(c), second case, and (d) of that directive, the latter of which derogate from the former, a national court must, having regard to all the circumstances of the case before it, rely on an interpretation of those provisions which, whilst consistent with their wording and safeguarding their effectiveness, fully adheres to the fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter.

@jeffjarvis Another clear demonstration that copyright is censorship.

“That unaired footage is Fox’s confidential intellectual property; Fox did not consent to its distribution or publication; and Fox does not consent to its further distribution or publication.”

Just so I understand: #Disney, who've spent millions of $ over the years changing US #copyright laws to ensure that anyone using their work has to pay fees every time they use it (in perpetuity), don't want to pay the writers fees for the moneymaking work they create for Disney every time Disney uses it (in perpetuity)?

"Tyler Ochoa [#law professor at Santa Clara University] said the #copyright issues with #AI #text generation are exactly the same as the issues with AI #image generation. First: is copying large amounts of [copyrighted] text or images for training the model #FairUse? The answer to that, he said, is probably yes. Second: if the model generates output that's too similar to the input…is that copyright infringement? The answer to that, he said, is almost certainly yes."

Cool. So all content produced by #ChatGPT is intellectual property of #OpenAI, and you can use it, provided you give attribution to OpenAI/ChatGPT.

Makes perfect sense to me. That's how #copyright works.

But why, then, does ChatGPT not give proper attribution to the sources it uses to generate that content? 🤔

Chronicles Revisited Podcast 6 — Osborne's Last Stand

Adam Osborne made a name for himself in the 1970s as one of the first successful authors and publishers of computer books. After selling his publishing company to McGraw-Hill, Osborne launched a computer hardware manufacturer, which produced the famous Osborne-1 portable microcomputer. When that business collapsed in 1983, Osborne shifted to software with his third and final venture, Paperback Software International. Unfortunately, Osborne’s decision to copy a competitor’s menu design for his own program proved his undoing after a lengthy lawsuit that proved a critical moment in the evolving legal battle over software copyrights.

The U.S. Copyright Office's A.I. info hub--please read + share widely!

I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice--just passing along the primary resource because there's a lot of confusion out there. 🧵 (1/8)

@bookstodon

https://copyright.gov/ai/

KorraSaqqara,

Of note:

  1. Not all countries are handling A.I. copyright the same way; this is only a resource for how the U.S. Copyright Office is currently handling, and is subject to change as further cases and laws are resolved and enacted.

@bookstodon

KorraSaqqara,
  1. The U.S. has a human authorship requirement for copyright eligibility--prior rulings included that "divine revelations" could not be protected by copyright and neither could a photograph taken by a monkey.

@bookstodon

KorraSaqqara,
  1. Given the current state of generative A.I., US Copyright Office guidance states that anything generated by A.I. machines alone is ineligible for copyright protection.

@bookstodon

KorraSaqqara,
  1. Copyright protection only extends to those sufficiently creative, human-authored elements such as selection and compilation of text and A.I.-generated images or the edited elements of A.I.-generated images.

@bookstodon

KorraSaqqara,
  1. Creators must disclose which portions of a work were generated by A.I. and which portions were human-authored when applying for copyright registration--or else risk voiding the registration.
