The EFF's commitment to the idea that it should be legal to hoover up anything and everything on the internet as training data, regardless of license... is, in my opinion, problematic.

AND their idea that getting the courts and legislatures to side that way is going to somehow stick it to big tech.... is perplexing and naive to me.

I guess if you squint at it through the lens of "individual artists/authors/programmers are going to be fucked no matter what we do." IT kinda begins to resemble something that almost makes sense.

BUT even then it supposes that the big thing preventing "little guys" from competing against "big tech" in the arena of AI is copyright licensing; and not compute and access to massive amounts of energy, water, real estate and hyper-inflated hardware.

California’s AB 412 Still Demands Developers Do The Impossible

California lawmakers are again considering A.B. 412, a bill that would require AI developers to identify and disclose copyrighted works used to train generative AI systems.The problem this year is the same as last year: it’s practically impossible to comply with this law. The bill demands...

I think archiving is more important than copyright. What do you think?

EU copyright law and generative AI: a watershed moment

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has pushed EU copyright law into a full-blown crisis. AI models are trained on millions of copyrighted works, often without a licence, without payment, and without transparency. On 25 February 2026, the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs published its report on "Copyright and Generative AI – Opportunities and Challenges" (Rapporteur: Axel Voss). The vote result was clear: 17 in favour, 3 against.

I was glad to see my work and statement in a side-event of the AI Impact Summit 2026 cited in this policy brief; some of the broader conceptual framing is closely aligned with my forthcoming piece.

Governing AI for the Cultural Commons: Beyond Intellectual Property | IT for Change

The current AI innovation paradigm is driven by large-scale extraction and (mis)appropriation of creative and cultural resources into proprietary AI systems. As AI systems increasingly mediate cultural production and information access, questions of who controls these knowledge infrastructures have become increasingly urgent. These developments raise serious concerns not only for the livelihoods of artists and creators but also for the collective cultural and developmental rights of communities and states, particularly in the Global South.
