Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The AI landscape is in danger of being dominated by large companies with deep pockets. These big names are in the news almost daily. But they’re far from the only ones – there are dozens of AI companies with fewer than 10 employees trying to build something new in a particular niche. </p><p>This bill demands that creators of any AI model–even a two-person company or a hobbyist tinkering with a small software build– identify copyrighted materials used in training. That requirement will be incredibly onerous, even if limited just to works registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The registration system is a cumbersome beast at best–neither machine-readable nor accessible, it’s more like a card catalog than a database–that doesn’t offer information sufficient to identify all authors of a work, much less help developers to reliably match works in a training set to works in the system.</p><p>Even for major tech companies, meeting these new obligations would be a daunting task. For a small startup, throwing on such an impossible requirement could be a death sentence. If A.B. 412 becomes law, these smaller players will be forced to devote scarce resources to an unworkable compliance regime instead of focusing on development and innovation. The risk of lawsuits—potentially from copyright trolls—would discourage new startups from even attempting to enter the field."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/californias-ab-412-bill-could-crush-startups-and-cement-big-tech-ai-monopoly" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/cali</span><span class="invisible">fornias-ab-412-bill-could-crush-startups-and-cement-big-tech-ai-monopoly</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>California</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FairUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairUse</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. While they rely on these repositories for their sustenance, their adversarial and disrespectful relationships with creators reduce the incentives for anyone to make their work publicly available going forward (freely licensed or otherwise). They drain resources from maintainers of those common repositories often without any compensation. They reduce the visibility of the original sources, leaving people unaware that they can or should contribute towards maintaining such valuable projects. AI companies should want a thriving open access ecosystem, ensuring that the models they trained on Wikipedia in 2020 can be continually expanded and updated. Even if AI companies don’t care about the benefit to the common good, it shouldn’t be hard for them to understand that by bleeding these projects dry, they are destroying their own food supply.</p><p>And yet many AI companies seem to give very little thought to this, seemingly looking only at the months in front of them rather than operating on years-long timescales. (Though perhaps anyone who has observed AI companies’ activities more generally will be unsurprised to see that they do not act as though they believe their businesses will be sustainable on the order of years.)</p><p>It would be very wise for these companies to immediately begin prioritizing the ongoing health of the commons, so that they do not wind up strangling their golden goose. It would also be very wise for the rest of us to not rely on AI companies to suddenly, miraculously come to their senses or develop a conscience en masse.</p><p>Instead, we must ensure that mechanisms are in place to force AI companies to engage with these repositories on their creators' terms."</p><p><a href="https://www.citationneeded.news/free-and-open-access-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">citationneeded.news/free-and-o</span><span class="invisible">pen-access-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CreativeCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CreativeCommons</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FairUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairUse</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Controversies about new and unexpected uses of copyrighted works enabled by technological advances are far from new; they continue to play an integral part in the development of modern copyright law. This Article revisits numerous disputes over uses of in-copyright works enabled by disruptive technologies since the 1970s. These disputes involved copying of research and educational materials, home video and audio taping, and storage and processing of digital copies for the purpose of developing search engines and other research tools. Tracing the evolution of the concept of market harm and the role it has played in copyright fair use cases involving new technologies, this Article lays out the arguments about market effects—harmful and beneficial effects, as well as the requirements of proof—that have been presented in the courts and debated in Congress. The Article then assesses the current landscape of generative AI copyright litigation.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The Electronic Frontier Foundation works to defend your right to own what you buy. Your right of first sale should apply to digital works, and it’s unfair to buy something when the terms say you don’t really own it. We fight in Congress to stop laws that would take your digital rights away, and in court to ensure that copyright holders can’t re-write the law to undermine user rights and the public interest. We've won many protections for physical media, worked to expand your right to make fair uses of physical and digital content, and even protected your ability to make podcasts. Now we need your help to change the law to give you the same rights online that you have offline. It’s happened in other countries, and it can happen here, too."</p><p><a href="https://www.digitalrightsbytes.org/topics/wait-i-don-t-own-the-digital-downloads-i-buy" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">digitalrightsbytes.org/topics/</span><span class="invisible">wait-i-don-t-own-the-digital-downloads-i-buy</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FairUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FairUse</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalMedia</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DRM</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Streaming</span></a></p>
