This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
He's right, information wants to be free. Don't support stronger copyright just to spite people it'll benefit
I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?
I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....
Anyone in this thread is creating derivative works and you should not be reading it without the written permission of verge.com's parent company.
Oh hey, Microsoft support moving away from copyright! 
That's funny, so do I.
Copyright infrigment is not theft, training models is not copyright infringement either. We need a law equivalent to when an artist says "he's inpired by someone else" . That it specifically is illegal to do that without permission if you use a machine. That will force big tech to pay a pittance for it and it will instakill all the small player.

Fair use once it's posted on the web? Thank you very much for the framework to pirate anything and everything.
In other news: we have lawyers to protect our copyrights, you don't. Suck it.
Sure bud, pirating some Microsoft Studio video games and windows ISOs right now. What? I found them on the open web!
Pirating Windows for your own personal, private use, which will never directly make you a single dollar: HIGHLY ILLEGAL
Scraping your creative works so they can make billions by selling automated processes that compete against your work: Perfectly fine and normal!
And this is why I don't have ANY moral qualms about pirating shit: they'd do it to us in a heartbeat if there was a buck to be made.
copying is not theft
"Copying is theft" is the argument of corporations for ages, but if they want our data and information, to integrate into their business, then, suddenly they have the rights to it.
If copying is not theft, then we have the rights to copy their software and AI models, as well, since it is available on the open web.
They got themselves into quite a contradiction.
You wouldn't download a car!
You realize that half of Lemmy is tying themselves in inconsistent logical knots trying to escape the reverse conundrum?
Copying isn't stealing and never was. Our IP system that artificially restricts information has never made sense in the digital age, and yet now everyone is on here cheering copyright on.
