Indeed, books are close to heart, and I have a photograph to prove it.

The Canada Future Party Platform Examined
We are continuing our series of examining different political parties. This time, we are looking at the Canada Future Party.

Until 2016 publication of these photos would have been illegal. From the website of the #Atomium (pictured here:)
‘#copyright restrictions exempt private individuals (…) where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose.’
SABAM, #Belgium's society for collecting copyrights and having an illustrious reputation for claiming copyrights (even when it’s not even holding it,) has claimed worldwide intellectual property rights on all reproductions of the Atomium and has gone so far to demand a US website to remove all images from its pages.
Luckily Belgium has come to its senses and since 2016 there is freedom of panorama, allowing pictures of public buildings under copyright to be legally distributed.

‘What’s the difference between me reading your work?” Sam #Altman (ChatGPT) asked.
‘It’s all free to read. What’s the difference? You’re outputting to potentially millions of people for commercial gain for no recompense, said [#Cadwalladr].
‘It’s fair use, he countered. It’s really not, I said. You’ve ingested the entire body of my work. It’s so easy to establish that.
And he was gone. Back to the controls of the tank that is soon to roll over all of us.’
Curiosamente, en el juicio en curso contra Meta por usar material protegido por derechos de autor para entrenar sus modelos de AI, están tratando de usar "el todo es más que la suma de las partes" como defensa.
Básicamente sostienen que cada obra individualmente no hace diferencia en el modelo resultante. Dicen que cada una modifica el modelo en menos de 0.0006% y que por tanto eso no hace diferencia y que carece de valor comercial.
Están argumentando la nave de Teseo. En una corte. Creo que lo están haciendo intencionalmente, pues la respuesta a ese problema depende de la postura filosófica que uno suscriba.
Ese argumento funciona en la dirección opuesta: si yo licencio todas las obras usadas, y llego a exactamente los mismos bytes a los que llegó Meta, lo que tendría en ese momento no viola el copyright de Meta pues es un objeto distinto aún cuando es digitalmente idéntico. Aún más, como yo le estaría dando participación (en alguna forma) a los autores, ellos no solo participarían de las ganancias que yo derive del modelo sino potencialmente de los productos que se obtengan al usar el modelo (todo dependería de los términos de la licencia que acuerde con los autores).
En ese sentido el argumento de Meta se puede invertir y usar para decir que los autores de las obras usadas tienen algún tipo de derecho sobre las cosas que se creen usando el modelo que ellos generaron.

A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...

The Liberal Party Platform Examined
We continue our series of platform analysis through the lens of technology and digital rights by checking out the Liberal party platform.

PressGazette: ‘Unsustainable status quo’: AI companies and publishers respond to Govt copyright consultation. “The UK Government’s proposal to allow AI companies to automatically train their models on online content unless the rightsholder specifically opts out has been described as ‘unworkable’. A range of responses to the Government consultation on its proposed change to the existing […]
Break out the mega lawyers and be ready to seize $ billions in Meta assets. These fascist fucks think they can ignore EU law. School's open. 
New study: Graduate students in #STEM "often conflate issues around #copyright and #plagiarism and have little understanding of their own ownership over the materials they create."

@gabrielesvelto since "#AI" is not a person, it cannot have #Authorship and thus not create #copyright|able works.
- That's literally how it works in #Germany!

It's not clear what the photographer/archaeologist is claiming here. The BBC mentions their photos were included (verbatim?) in the eBay description. If there was no attribution that's potentially a clear #copyright violation, but it could be solved by removing the photos and has nothing to do with the production or the sale of the replica.
