I'm convinced that in the history books we'll credit BitTorrent for having preserved a significant chunk of humanity's cultural production

"If the Supreme Court doesn’t reverse a lower court’s ruling, internet service providers (ISPs) could be forced to terminate people’s internet access based on nothing more than mere accusations of copyright infringement. This would threaten innocent users who rely on broadband for essential aspects of daily life. EFF—along with the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and Re:Create—filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reverse the decision.

The Stakes: Turning ISPs into Copyright Police
Among other things, the Supreme Court approving the appeals court’s findings will radically change the amount of risk your ISP takes on if a customer infringes on copyright, forcing the ISP to terminate access to the internet for those users accused of copyright infringement—and everyone else who uses that internet connection."

Apparently, going to prison or paying millions for copyrighted works is yesterday's news. In our new AI world, the price is at most $ 3,000 per work, with a solution so shoddy that the judge withholds final approval.

File under "not wunderbar":

In Germany a court decided that even smaller online platforms can be held responsible for infringing content uploaded by users, if they don't have some form of screening:

The internet is becoming harder to use because of unintended consequences in the battle between adult content creators who are trying to protect their livelihoods and the people who pirate their content.

@404mediaco Interesting article, but labeling piracy as the root of the problem means you are taking the point of the view of the #copyright maximalists. We should also consider that copyright itself could be part of the problem. Then we can see that better solutions might come from removing some things from copyright eligability. The #USConstitution says it is "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts". Does pornography really fit in there? Could removing copyright lead to less harm?

Denmark 🇩🇰 just passed a groundbreaking law: citizens now own the copyright to their own face, voice, and body.

This is a major win against AI deepfakes and unauthorized digital identity use. The digital self is officially personal property! 💥
