A California court ruled that ripping YouTube videos for reaction content can violate the DMCA, even when fair use applies, because it involves bypassing YouTube’s technical safeguards.

"#News #publishers limit #InternetArchive access due to #AI scraping concerns."

PS: I'm one who thinks AI training on copyrighted content is #FairUse and (separate point) even desirable in the case of academic research.

But this kind of training will create huge collateral damage --indirectly through publisher action -- if it diminishes the @internetarchive.

“Long before generative AI, copyright holders warned that new technologies for reading and analyzing information would destroy creativity. Internet search engines, they argued, were infringement machines—tools that copied copyrighted works at scale without permission. As they had with earlier information technologies like the photocopier and the VCR, copyright owners sued.”

Search Engines, AI, And The Long Fight Over Fair Use www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026… #AI #copyright #FairUse

Text Shot: Workers’ concerns about automation and displacement are real and should not be ignored. But copyright is the wrong tool to address them. Managing economic transitions and protecting workers during turbulent times may be core functions of government, but copyright law doesn’t help with that task in the slightest. Expanding copyright control over learning and analysis won’t stop new forms of worker automation—it never has. But it will distort copyright law and undermine free expression. 

Broad licensing mandates may also do harm by entrenching the current biggest incumbent companies. Only the largest tech firms can afford to negotiate massive licensing deals covering millions of works. Smaller developers, research teams, nonprofits, and open-source projects will all get locked out. Copyright expansion won’t restrain Big Tech—it will give it a new advantage.

The legal system isn't the great equalizer anymore. It's a system that's rigged to transfer economic advantage from the unprivileged to the wealthy, aggravating the insane levels of wealth inequity that already exists in the world. And that's why it's #piracy when you or I do it, but #fairuse when the insanely rich do it!

ICYMI, Anna's Archive is a collection of freely and often illegally distributed copyrighted literary and academic materials. It's meant to overcome the legal hurdles that make knowledge increasingly unaffordable to the ordinary folks.

What was NVIDIA's defense? It's fair-use, since the material becomes nothing more than statistical parameters! But considering how these parameters will fetch them billions of dollars, I seriously doubt that this is what #fairuse policy was designed for.

"Separate the art from the artist"? That's hard while the artist still earns a royalty and spends it on harassing critics in court or promoting intolerance.

"The Death of the Author"? The author's heirs aren't dead and can keep a biography from being published. Copyright encourages intentionalism.

@baltakatei

The file with deletion request was on Wikimedia Commons where no fair use rule applies. The other file is on English Wikipedia where they use the fair use rule. Two different project with different rule sets. That George Vancouver statue would have been deleted on Wikimedia Commons also (as there is no FOP in Washington).

@hannahpowles @misty

Curious how they will address provenance, licensing, & long-term preservation. Hope they ensure talks around blockchain/ tokenization emphasize governance, transparency, & avoid hype/ misuse.

Blackrock is striving to be leading digital asset manager by 2030, starting up tokenization services that turn traditional assets like ETFs/ property/ art into a token that can be traded, I'm worried about misuse due to investor involvement.
