Here’s the deal: AI giants get to grab all your data unless you say they can’t. Fancy that? No, neither do I.
The Guardian
Data is vital to AI systems, so firms want the right to take it and ministers may let them. We must wake up to the danger.

Imagine someone drives up to a pub in a top-of-the-range sports car – a £1.5m Koenigsegg Regera, to pick one at random – parks up and saunters out of the vehicle. They come into the pub you’re drinking in and begin walking around its patrons, slipping their hand into your pocket in full view, smiling at you as they take out your wallet and empty it of its cash and cards.
The not-so-subtle pickpocket stops if you shout and ask what the hell they’re doing. “Sorry for the inconvenience,” the pickpocket says. “It’s an opt-out regime, mate.”
Sounds absurd. Yet it seems to be the approach the government is pursuing in order to placate AI companies. A consultation is soon to open, the Financial Times reports, that will allow AI companies to scrape content from individuals and organisations unless they explicitly opt out of their data being used.

Revenue effects of #Denuvo digital rights management on #PC video #games
Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1875952124002532
• Denuvo #DRM protects total revenue from piracy by a mean of 15% and a median of 20%.
• #Piracy causes mean total revenue to decrease by 20% when Denuvo is cracked quickly.
• Piracy causes zero mean total revenue loss when Denuvo survives for 12 weeks or more.
• The characteristics of a #game cannot explain its likelihood of being cracked.
First of all DRM is not digital rights management, it is digital restrictions management for the #gamer. Often DRM is making performance and installing problems.
It's important to know that DRM must be payed but makes a game #experience worse. DRM costs #money, #energy, #performance, patches and #support but without any positive effect for the consumer.
The question now is: are these costs higher or lower 20% of lost consumer licenses?

The Gem turned to stone, they rewarded the classified, another whom shared the upturned milk and honey. Monday displaced, categorising a cultural discord, harmonising reward to key notes, split atoms, the magazine placed the music in accord to the incandescent brother, their compunction shone a facet of retraction. Grace were spartan nomads, demoralising two for the social creed of inflection, spoilt with interacting benevolent connectivity, as success famed the carriage, those words interacted a void, meaningful to the beneficial Monday. Excluding patronage, the cover attracted some interest, flowers harvested to the excluding land, pillars had no contention without a resolution.
He swept those boards, rewarding appearance with ambient cartridge, the sojourn captive to concert Mondays’ words, attendance remittent for disclosure, the edition had occupied semblance, a warfare concluded with patriotism, if an apple compered, she would have spoilt pairing pears. The needled cushion was patterned to the reciprocal first studio of Samuels edition, belated patterns of a singular retention, lifted by the freewheeled exclusion, screenshot with screen writers compacity.

Dormant the reciprocal computer, learnt exchanging goodwill, with goodwill, should domain in reproduction of posterity with proprietary goods exchanged.

Free speech foreclosing on redirecting the articulate cabin, a baluster for informing the information correctly. Samuels export were then receiving the expired trade, with misinformation.
Microsoft has finally cracked the code. Copyleft is no more.

Phlegmatic studio – seven, the first copy resold in numbers, a cover story, the magazine occupied to his warfare, disarming rationality, the dissolving owl, and placed conduct before our disclosure, naturalizing to a standout rehearsal, provocation loaning words before exemption.

The Future Of Ideas - THE FATE OF THE COMMONS IN A CONNECTED WORLD
Aaron Swartz and Lessing
at the launch party for Creative Commons (2002)
"The Internet revolution has come. Some say it has gone.
What was responsible for its birth?
Who is responsible for its demise?"
"In The Future of Ideas, Lawrence Lessig explains how the Internet revolution has produced a counterrevolution of devastating power and effect.
The explosion of innovation we have seen in the environment of the Internet was not conjured from some new, previously unimagined technological magic; instead, it came from an ideal as old as the nation.
Creativity flourished there because the Internet protected an innovation commons. The Internet's very design built a neutral platform upon which the widest range of creators could experiment. The legal architecture surrounding it protected this free space so that culture and information - the ideas of our era - could flow freely and inspire an unprecedented breadth of expression.
But this structural design is changing - both legally and technically."
"This shift will destroy the opportunities for creativity and innovation that the Internet originally engendered.
The cultural dinosaurs of our recent past are moving to quickly remake cyberspace so that they can better protect their interests against the future.
Powerful forces are swiftly using both law and technology to "tame" the internet, transforming it from an open forum for ideas into nothing more than cable television on speed.
Innovation, once again, will be directed from the top down, increasingly controlled by owners of the networks, holders of the largest patent portfolios, and, most invidiously, hoarders of copyrights." — https://archive.org/details/TheFutureOfIdeas/page/n1/mode/2up

Medieval Hackers calls attention to the use of certain vocabulary terms in the Middle Ages and today: commonness, openness, and freedom.Today we associate this language with computer hackers, some of whom believe that information, from literature to the code that makes up computer programs, should be much more accessible to the general public than it is.
In the medieval past these same terms were used by translators of censored texts, including the bible.
Only at times in history when texts of enormous cultural importance were kept out of circulation, including our own time, does this vocabulary emerge.
Using sources from Anonymous’s Fawkes mask to William Tyndale’s bible prefaces, Medieval Hackers demonstrates why we should watch for this language when it turns up in our media today.
This is important work in media archaeology, for as Kennedy writes in this book, the “effluorescence of intellectual piracy” in our current moment of political and technological revolutions “cannot help but draw us to look back and see that the enforcement of intellectual property in the face of traditional information culture has occurred before. …
We have seen that despite the radically different stakes involved, in the late Middle Ages, law texts traced the same trajectory as religious texts. In the end, perhaps religious texts serve as cultural bellwethers for the health of the information commons in all areas.
As unlikely as it might seem, we might consider seriously the import of an animatronic [John] Wyclif, gesturing us to follow him on a (potentially doomed) quest to preserve the information commons.” — https://archive.org/details/Medieval_Hackers/

How copyright is killing creativity — except Taylor Swift’s | The Hill https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/4674656-how-copyright-is-killing-creativity-except-taylor-swifts/
Less money meant more and better music. From the late 1990s, when music revenue peaked, to the early 2010s, when music revenue was at its lowest in decades, the number of albums released in the United States annually more than doubled. And if we measure music quality by how often people choose to listen to a song, quality increased significantly as well.
It is easy to mistake copyright for a system designed to support musical artists. From that perspective, more copyright means more money, and if more money is the whole point of the system, then more copyright is always the right answer.

The GPL Summarized
by me from a recent comment of mine.
OK. If you insist on copyright, I’ll use my legal privileges granted by copyright law to prevent the use of almost all of those privileges by me or anyone else. I’ll only insist that my work must be attributed to me, and that my work, even if mixed in with the work of others, must always be distributed under exactly the same terms that I distributed it.
Two of the privileges included in "almost all" are the exclusive privilege of creating and distributing verbatim copies of my work, and the exclusive privilege of creating and distributing derivative works derived from my work. Of course, "my work," if that work is software compiled from source code, refers primarily to the source code, but also to the compiled object code.
