How many ways besides libel can a false statement, whether on its own, or in combination with something else, be made to constitute civil or criminal offence? (What suffices to constitute fraud? negligent misrepresentation? breach of contract or warranty? tortuous interference? perjury? etc.…?)

Suppose a rudimentary open-source #DRM were to be implemented in web servers and web browsers (or a web-browser add-on), such that the key to the TPM comprises proof of the user's agreement to and utterance of legal statements to the effect that they're not using "generative AI" (plagiarism synthesis) to interact with the site, will not use it during that interaction, and will not allow any #genAI software to access information from it or disclose that information to any entity that would? Suppose the ToS for the site were to require that perfunctory DRM.

Would there be a way to exploit #DMCA1201 and/or the #CFAA to make it an offence (whether a crime, or a viable cause to sue) to bypass that DRM in order to interact with the website?

Maybe @lessig or #EbenMoglen (anyone know him?) could draft something, to do to AI, through inversion of intent of those laws, as #copyleft to #copyright?

@mgeist Would those laws correspond approximately to CMA §41 and to §342 of the Criminal Code?

Traversable Achronal Retrograde Domains In Spacetime

There are many spacetime geometries in general relativity which contain closed timelike curves. A layperson might say that retrograde time travel is possible in such spacetimes. To date no one has discovered a spacetime geometry which emulates what a layperson would describe as a time machine. The purpose of this paper is to propose such a space-time geometry. In our geometry, a bubble of curvature travels along a closed trajectory. The inside of the bubble is Rindler spacetime, and the exterior is Minkowski spacetime. Accelerating observers inside of the bubble travel along closed timelike curves. The walls of the bubble are generated with matter which violates the classical energy conditions. We refer to such a bubble as a Traversable Achronal Retrograde Domain In Spacetime.
