#copyright #FairUse

No surprise that a person who supported the governments horrible #c18 legislation and the online streaming act, also supports directly taking away users #fairdealing rights under #cooyright.

Sigh. This government is making all the wrong decisions and are getting support for it the whole way.

Hate #ElonMusk and #Twitter , but he is right. This attack on #fairuse is BS and needs to stop. There should never be #copyright protection on headlines for christ sake.

Wegen 100 Jahre alter Schallplatten: #Musikindustrie verklagt Internet Archive

#Copyright #IP #FairUse #Music: "Major record labels are suing the Internet Archive, accusing the nonprofit of "massive" and "blatant" copyright infringement "of works by some of the greatest artists of the Twentieth Century."

The lawsuit was filed Friday in a US district court in New York by UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, Concord Bicycle Assets, CMGI, Sony Music Entertainment, and Arista Music. It targets the Internet Archive's "Great 78 Project," which was launched in 2006.

For the Great 78 Project, the Internet Archive partners with recording engineer George Blood— who is also a defendant in the lawsuit—to digitize sound recordings on 78 revolutions-per-minute (RPM) records. These early sound recordings are typically of poor quality and were made between 1898 and the late 1950s by using very brittle materials. The goal of the Great 78 Project was to preserve these early recordings so they would not be lost as records break and could continue to be studied as originally recorded."

So much confusion, and misinformation about #AI, #copyright, and #fairuse. It's early days and this stuff will take time to work out. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/08/08/the-fear-of-ai-just-killed-a-very-useful-tool/

Eye-opening points about LLMs, generative AI, and copyright law:

"This article begins with an overview of generative AI and copyright law with a focus on fair use doctrine.

It then examines four schools of thought that have emerged to address the novelty of generative AI under copyright law …"

#AI #GenerativeAI #OpenAI #Copyright #IP #FairUse: "Authors including Margaret Atwood, Viet Thanh Nguyen and Philip Pullman have signed a petition calling for artificial intelligence companies to stop using writers’ work without consent or credit.

The open letter, which has been set up by the Authors Guild, America’s largest professional organisation for writers, is addressed to the CEOs of OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, and IBM. It presents these generative AI leaders with three demands, asking that these companies: “Obtain permission for use of our copyrighted material”; “Compensate writers fairly for the past and ongoing use of our works”, and “Compensate writers fairly for the use of our works in AI output, whether or not the outputs are infringing under current law”.

Maya Shanbhag Lang, president of the Authors Guild, said: “The output of AI will always be derivative in nature. AI regurgitates what it takes in, which is the work of human writers. It’s only fair that authors be compensated for having ‘fed’ AI and continuing to inform its evolution.”

#AI #GenerativeAI #OpenAI #Copyright #FairUse #IP: "An increasingly vocal group of artists, writers and filmmakers are arguing artificial intelligence tools like chatbots ChatGPT and Bard were illegally trained on their work without permission or compensation — posing a major legal threat to the companies pushing the tech out to millions of people around the world.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT and image-generator Dall-E, as well as Google’s Bard and Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, were all trained on billions of news articles, books, images, videos and blog posts scraped from the internet, much of which is copyrighted.

This past week, comedian Sarah Silverman filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Facebook parent company Meta, alleging they used a pirated copy of her book in training data because the companies’ chatbots can summarize her book accurately. Novelists Mona Awad and Paul Tremblay filed a similar lawsuit against OpenAI. And more than 5,000 authors, including Jodi Picoult, Margaret Atwood and Viet Thanh Nguyen, have signed a petition asking tech companies to get consent from and give credit and compensation to writers whose books were used in training data."

I have a #question about the #youtube #fairuse policy in a
#podcasting sort of context...

Say I took the entirety of the audio from a show by a _notable talk radio personality from the past_ and combined it with my own ongoing commentary, combined them and then provided copyright-unencumbered video content to go along?

Would that fly? Have to ask The Oracles? Any special ducking and weaving I need to do?
