Because that’s one key feature in the “2019 European directive adopted into French law”. It’s also what the Google fine was about.
Also, X isn’t really suitable for copy/pasting entire articles, like is done on lemmy. So that’s probably not it.
You think people should pay X to link to tweets? Or generally for quotes?
More like: They want to sell the cake and be paid when you recommend it to others.
Mind that news media don’t pay when they link to social media, quote people, or even report what other media has reported. The real question is, if this law has any beneficial effect for society. I don’t see how.
Oh, he’s saying that snippet view lets us have sites like lemmy. I didn’t get how cracking down on that would help lemmy.
It should only show the title and the link imo.
That’s infringement in Europe, which makes it effectively a link tax.
Huh? How you mean?
Not quite. You can’t turn movies into books or games, or vice versa, for example. Sometimes such projects get stuck in limbo. Or think about how everyone hated the final season of Game of Thrones. Can’t do anything about that in our life times.
The “battle” is the result of copyright people trying to use open source people for their ends.
In the past, for software, the focus was completely on the terms of the license. If you look at OSI’s new definition, you will find no mention of that, despite the fact that common licenses in the AI world are not in line with traditional standards. The big focus is data, because that is what copyright people care about. AI trainers are supposed to provide extensive documentation on training data. That’s exactly the same demand that the copyright lobby managed to get into the european AI Act. They will use that to sue people for piracy.
Of course, what the copyright people really want is free money. They’re spreading the myth that training data is like source code and training like compiling. That may seem like a harmless, flawed analogy. But the implication is that the people who work and pay to do open source AI have actually done nothing except piracy. If they can convince judges or politicians who don’t understand the implications then this may cause a lot of damage.
Other way around. The NNs are written in, mostly, Python. The frameworks, mainly Pytorch now, handle the heavy-duty math.
Musk also has his hands on a fair amount of data through X and Tesla. But yeah… Copyright expansion seems like an odd place to start breaking the constitution.
You’re right about the regulation but I’m not so sure about the copyright exemptions. All in all, you’d think he’s more likely to side with property owners - especially the heirs of media empires - over progress.
Americans may be seeing serious savings in that picture.
I am seeing serious evolutionary pressure on liver genetics.
My brother in Lemmy, this is what stopping Big Tech looks like.
Europe made laws that say that Google and others need to pay if they want to link to EU publishers. Well, maybe the price they are asking is not worth it.
You’re right about the firewall energy, but that’s simply how these laws work. The point of copyright, as well as age verification and other such laws, is to control who may access certain information.
