“When you have wit of your own, it's a pleasure to credit other people for theirs.”

“Copyright law has got to give up its obsession with 'the copy.' The law should not regulate 'copies' or 'modern reproductions' on their own. It should instead regulate uses--like public distributions of copies of copyrighted work--that connect directly to the economic incentive copyright law was intended to foster.”

“You still could go to some industry or some university or the government and if you could persuade them you had something on the ball鈥攚hy, then, they might put up the cash after cutting themselves in on just about all of the profits. And, naturally, they'd run the show because it was their money and all you had done was the sweating and the bleeding.”

“Piracy is robbery with violence, often segueing into murder, rape and kidnapping. It is one of the most frightening crimes in the world. Using the same term to describe a twelve-year-old swapping music with friends, even thousands of songs, is evidence of a loss of perspective so astounding that it invites and deserves the derision it receives.”

“Every piece of data ingested by a model plays a role in determining its behavior. The fairness, transparency, and representativeness of the data reflect directly in the LLMs' outputs. Ignoring ethical considerations in data sourcing can inadvertently perpetuate harmful stereotypes, misinformation, or gaps in knowledge. It can also infringe on the rights of data creators.”

“Any files I give to the model are downsized (typically 800x1200 pixels)... By not giving out my high resolution files, they cannot be used without my knowledge.”

“Given an area of law that legislators were happy to hand over to the affected industries and a technology that was both unfamiliar and threatening, the prospects for legislative insight were poor. Lawmakers were assured by lobbyists
a) that this was business as usual, that no dramatic changes were being made by the Green or White papers; or
b) that the technology presented a terrible menace to the American cultural industries, but that prompt and statesmanlike action would save the day; or
c) that layers of new property rights, new private enforcers of those rights, and technological control and surveillance measures were all needed in order to benefit consumers, who would now be able to 鈥減urchase culture by the sip rather than by the glass鈥� in a pervasively monitored digital environment.
In practice, somewhat confusingly, these three arguments would often be combined. Legislators鈥� statements seemed to suggest that this was a routine Armageddon in which firm, decisive statesmanship was needed to preserve the digital status quo in a profoundly transformative and proconsumer way. Reading the congressional debates was likely to give one conceptual whiplash.
To make things worse, the press was鈥攊n 1995, at least鈥攃lueless about these issues. It was not that the newspapers were ignoring the Internet. They were paying attention鈥攐bsessive attention in some cases. But as far as the mainstream press was concerned, the story line on the Internet was sex: pornography, online predation, more pornography. The lowbrow press stopped there. To be fair, the highbrow press was also interested in Internet legal issues (the regulation of pornography, the regulation of online predation) and constitutional questions (the First Amendment protection of Internet pornography). Reporters were also asking questions about the social effect of the network (including, among other things, the threats posed by pornography and online predators).”

“But, like all metaphoric wars, the copyright wars are not actual conflicts of survival. Or at least, they are not conflicts for survival of a people or a society, even if they are wars of survival for certain businesses or, more accurately, business models. Thus we must keep in mind the other values or objectives that might also be affected by this war. We must make sure this war doesn't cost more than it is worth. We must be sure it is winnable, or winnable at a price we're willing to pay.”

“In U.S. law, fair uses are stated quite clearly to be limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright holder鈥攗ses that were never within the copyright holder鈥檚 power to prohibit. The defense is not 鈥業 trespassed on your land, but I was starving.鈥� It is 鈥業 did not trespass on your land. I walked on the public road that runs through it, a road you never owned in the first place.鈥� When society hands out the right to the copyright holder, it carves out certain areas of use and refuses to hand over control of them.”

“In the absence of evidence on either side, the presumption should be against creating a new, legalized monopoly. The burden of proof should lie on those who claim, in any particular case, that the state should step in to stop competition, outlaw copying, proscribe technology, or restrict speech.”

“Today鈥檚 tech giants have not invented an interop-proof computer. They鈥檝e invented laws that make interoperability illegal unless they give permission for it. A new, complex thicket of copyright, patent, trade secret, noncompete and other IP rights has conjured up a new offense we can think of as 鈥渇elony contempt of business model鈥濃€攖he right of large firms to dictate how their customers, competitors and even their critics must use their products.”

“Terrorists and Thieves (Sonnet)
Terrorists who manifested their destiny
on stolen land, are banning immigrants!
Thieves who built their AI empire, not
on public domain data, but on stolen
copyrighted material, are upset with
other thieves stealing from them!
More than the inhumanity it is
the hypocrisy that is so astounding.
I say astounding, but not really,
it's just pathetic and disappointing.
It's happening all over again,
colonizers are spreading their tentacles,
all the while being idolized as icons,
instead of being held accountable for
their ritualistic human rights violations.
Parasites live off the labor of humans,
and monkeys worship them as kings.
This is neither innovation nor civilization,
this is the jungle kingdom rebooting.”
