The Hypocrisy at the Heart of the AI Industry Tech companies believe in intellectual property, but not yours.

I struggle with #ai #llm #technology (because it has incredible potential) and the ethical issues surrounding the #training of LLM #models

So, I found this article a very interesting read.

But in recent months The New York Times began blocking the Archive from crawling its website, using technical measures that go beyond the web's traditional robots.txt rules. That risks cutting off a record that historians and journalists have relied on for decades. Other newspapers, including The Guardian, seem to be following suit. 

For nearly three decades, historians, journalists, and the public have relied on the Internet Archive to preserve news sites as they appeared online. Those archived pages are often the only reliable record of how stories were originally published. In many cases, articles get edited, changed, or removed—sometimes openly, sometimes not. The Internet Archive often becomes the only source for seeing those changes. When major publishers block the Archive’s crawlers, that historical record starts to disappear.

Meta Claims BitTorrent Piracy is Fair Use in Audacious Copyright Gambit Meta argues BitTorrent distribution of pirated books for AI training qualifies as fair use. The audacious legal theory tests the limits of copyright doctrine.

Meta's reasoning is straightforward. Anyone who uses BitTorrent to transfer files automatically uploads content to other people, as it is inherent to the protocol. In other words, the uploading wasn't a choice, it was simply how the technology works.

Meta also argued that the BitTorrent sharing was a necessity to get the valuable (but pirated) data. In the case of Anna's Archive, Meta said, the datasets were only available in bulk through torrent downloads, making BitTorrent the only practical option.

"Meta used BitTorrent because it was a more efficient and reliable means of obtaining the datasets, and in the case of Anna's Archive, those datasets were only available in bulk through torrent downloads," Meta's attorney writes.

Most of the world respects #international_law and #ICJruling on civil matters.

#FairUse doctrine continues to apply to all copyright & trademark outside #USrael.

But as our names, images & data about us are deployed as weapons against us, we owe no compliance or deference or fees to the thieves.

Shaykhoun v. The Daily Mail (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 26, 2026). Using tweet in news reporting [= transformative. Plaintiff’s publishing of tweet = fair use on 2nd factor. Use of whole tweet = fair use under 3rd factor, and putting tweet in news article did not usurp market for original. #copyright #fairuse

Remember #fairuse? And if I don't remove it myself, they will #delete it for me and then apply a #copyrightstrike on my channel. This isn't #copyright this is #copywrong. There is zero good reason to push me to delete it. First, it's not monetized. Secondly, it wasn't even a publicly available video
