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 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?

@eff Hell fucking NO.
@eff you’re supposed to be an organisation that stands up for our digital rights. Our rights include not having work taken wholesale and regurgitated by for profit companies without proper licensing and proper attribution - in most cases actually even costing us money as these bots steal bandwidth meant for humans.
@eff Tell me you don’t understand anything about copyright in 5 lines or less.
@eff can you elaborate what this means for "clean room" implementations? Just running it through an LLM would follow the same logic? (honest question; haven't seen rulings/opinions/news about this)
@eff Your CIA is showing
@eff Fuck me. We really needed you on our side regarding this. Terrible, worst approach possible from the EFF.
@eff Saw this coming. EFF has been on Big Tech's side for every issue except surveillance capitalism and censorship.
Well, this sucks. Thanks for siding with fascism, EFF. I'd suggest abandoning Open Source Software as a cause of yours as well as the Creative Commons, because if AI is going to have your backing, you can't support either of those. (You have lawyers, you should know why.)
