Training AI models on copyrighted works is "squarely what transformative use is," EFF’s Tori Noble told Reason - these are "general purpose tools" and "exactly the kind of creation that copyright is designed to foster.” https://reason.com/2026/09/04/doj-says-barring-ai-training-on-copyrighted-material-could-severely-hamper-tech-progress/

@eff wait wtf EFF? I thought you were on our side 😿
@eff You know your take is good and you are on the right side of history when you are siding with corporate interests in a puff piece from the Koch funded Reason outlet, and in great company, with their long history of defending and platforming apartheid defenders, big tobacco, climate change deniers, big oil, holocaust deniers, covid deniers...
@eff tell that to my employer when I transformatively use their IP to create a copyleft software that annihilates their whole business model.
"they're the same picture"
@eff What the fuck. Good bye then. Best of luck with the fascists, I'm sure they're all very nice.
Sorry, what? Definitely no.
@eff I have never been a *recurring* donator, I renewed annually whenever I had some money left. I do this since 2011.
VERY much rethinking this for this end of the year.
Your work is sorely needed, but AI certainly is not one of the things I think you should put my donations towards.
@eff Do kindly go and fuck yourself.
@eff fuuuuckofffffff
@eff This ain’t it, chief.
Another corrupted organization showing their ass.
@eff what's wrong with you?
