Krasser Scheiss. Da muss ich denken an die #creativecommons-#abzocke siehe
"Creative-Commons-Abzocke: negative Feststellungsklagen gegen Marco Verch, Thomas Wolf, Christoph Scholz, Christian Fischer, Dirk Vorderstraße, Dennis Skley und den Verband zum Schutz geistigen Eigentums im Internet (VSGE) (...)"

@CAAP rajouter pour les canadiens les termes "usage loyal"

https://vitrinelinguistique.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/fiche-gdt/fiche/8363772/usage-loyal

mais qui est remplacé par "Utilisation équitable" dans la législation canadienne.

Et aussi important pour les canadiens: "exceptions au droit d'auteur"

usage loyal

Disposition prévue par la loi américaine sur le droit d'auteur, qui permet au particulier d'utiliser une création sans demander la permission de l'auteur, à condition de respecter certaines limitations.

The copyright fight over authors and OpenAI’s ChatGPT

The battle over how large language models can use published works is just beginning. Copyright law isn’t ready.

@hack , I've been using a "license where you're not allowed to attribute the original author and must pretend that you wrote it yourself" (of a sort) on a non-software work, my personal FAQ (http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/), for decades.

I wanted to permit either verbatim replication with attribution, preserving my views intact, or unrestricted CC-style remixing and morphing of my personal views but with blowback towards me from third-party changes averted by the altered work being required to be asserted to be someone else's. So, the wording is:

"Copyright (C) 1995-2023 by Rick Moen. Verbatim copying, distribution, and display of this entire article (page) are permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. Alternatively, you may create derivative works of any sort for any purpose, provided your versions contain no attribution to me, and that you assert your own authorship (and not mine) in every practical medium."

https://federate.social/@dmarti described this licence (when I concocted it in the '90s), as "bastard reverse copyleft", and wisely cautioned about legal uncertainties owing to its novelty. (/me nods to https://teh.entar.net/@spacehobo)

But That's Just My Opinion. I Could Be Wrong.

We sued for peace in the Copyright Wars, and millions of us turned the battlefield into a garden.

Have you ever wanted to say thank you for these column? Here’s how you can: I’m kickstarting the audiobook for my next novel, a post-cyberpunk anti-finance finance thriller about Silicon Valley scams…

Giving away your copyrights is harder than cancelling an internet subscription.

Attached: 1 image The central holding of the #InternetArchive court opinion is, if you own a physical book and scan it, you infringed the author's copyright by creating an unauthorized copy—even if you never use both at the same time. (This also implies that printing an ebook = infringement.) That's quite bad. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.537900/gov.uscourts.nysd.537900.188.0.pdf http://blog.archive.org/2023/03/25/the-fight-continues/
