End of Ukrainian gas transit signals new energy woes for Europe

"In sum, if the TDM leading up to the model took place outside the EU, then EU copyright law does not require GPAI model providers to ensure that the resulting model complies with Article 4 CDSMD. Therefore, even if this recital is turned into a binding obligation by national law, its violation does not amount to copyright infringement. It would only be a violation of the AI Act. Even then, since this particular obligation refers back to the “policies to respect copyright” obligation, it seems odd to impose a sanction on a provider for failing to comply with EU copyright law when that provider has, in fact, respected the applicable copyright rules. It seems even stranger to recognize such a deviation from the core principles of EU copyright law based on a recital in a legislative instrument that is only tangentially related to copyright."

They key similarities are #extraterritoriality and #terrorism.

I explain the #Khalistan #secessionist angle here ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111501161171427318

These separatists have been operating freely in #Canada for decades, and they planned and executed the plane bombings from there.

For decades, #India has repeatedly sought #Canadian govt cooperation in reining them in, but they consistently refused — like #Turkey does not consider #Hamas a terrorist organization.
