Accidental encounter with a legend
Accidental encounter with a legend
@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"
Copyfight growing strong
Authors and OpenAI clash
Law isn’t ready yet
@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)

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/
