This is really bad... Now, this is investigation is UK centric though. I wonder how other countries would fare.

This is going to be interesting to see how this new regulation unfolds. Its impacts are well beyond just Microsoft.

Interesting line of argument regarding Free Software licenses. I wonder what the judges will conclude in the end... this could have important consequences.

Looks like it was a very interesting talk. Situation still needs to be monitored in any case, it's uncertain how those cases will be ruled.

This is unclear on the technicalities (is it even possible to just claim it like this? is CC0 required? etc.). Still this is a bold move, hats off to this renowned author.

Interesting analysis around the current situation around web scraping and intellectual property. This moved to being mostly dealt with using contract law which makes it a terrible minefield. Lots of hypocrisy all around too which doesn't help. GPT and the likes will likely be the next area where cases will rise.

Good explanations around the (deserved) complaints against Zoom and their not that new user license.

It'll be interesting to see where this complaint goes.

This is a welcome consequence of the CJUE ruling. Be warned, think twice before reaching for Google Analytics.

A reminder of what's going on in France... and it's bleak. Lots of things can turn you into a suspect at this point.

You encrypt your communications or data? You try to avoid surveillance from the GAFAM? You use Tor or a VPN?

If anything bad happens around you, then you'll turn into a suspect, this is due to the "clandestine behavior" you entertain... so for sure you are part of some "conspiracy".

This is very worrying.

The copyright system is utterly broken at that point. This kind of lawsuits don't make any sense.

Are we surprised? Not at all... this is an ethical problem, this is a legal risk. The alternatives will hopefully know better.

This was only a matter of time. It'll be interesting to see how this will unfold. Potentially it could turn into lawsuit cases being built up, it could also mean content producers get a cut down the line... of course could be both. Since FOSS code also ends up in training those models I'm even wondering if that could lead to money going back to the authors. We'll see where that goes.

This lawsuit and the first ruling are indeed very concerning. Let's hope we keep the Internet Archive alive, their work is invaluable.

For all the conversations about how chat GPT might displace jobs, there's a big untold: how much of copyright is violated in the process? It's also very concerning about how much data it collects when interacted with.

It seems this isn't necessary after all. At most if you like it you can put the year of creation of the copyrighted content, but the range and bumping it really isn't necessary.

Alright, this going to be interesting. Pass me the pop corn. It's definitely a welcome move in any case.

Excellent news, hoping to see more such bogus patents cancelled. Also, one can hope, that patent offices would start becoming less sloppy...
