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 you've got to be kidding?
@eff did a LLM write this? fucks sake
@eff
IANAL but to me it's pretty clear that genAI ouput directly competes with the original works the models were trained on. How the hell is that fair use?
@eff a horrible opinion that screws creators. Unbelievable that you would not only support mass copyright infringement, but seemingly with enthusiasm. You've officially helped tip the scales in favor of billionaire robber barons and likely alienated a large percentage of your supporters.
Are you counting on large donations from the supremely entitled, inhuman, hoarding scumbags?
@eff Disappointing. Does standing up for AI really align with your mission of defending privacy and free speech online?
@eff what the fuck, EFF, what did you smoke? This is awful.
I hate this world.
@eff what the fuck is this
@eff alright, who shat in your brain?
@eff
So which AI model has escaped it sandbox now and hacked your account?
@eff Oops, no more donations from me
@eff Maybe these stupid #AI #Clankers can stop this stupid #DDoS attack on my server then?
If you have taken this hypocritical take on copyright, then you need to get your head out of you're ass, because if I did the same thing these companies are doing, I'd be sued into hell for it.
Translation: Someone at the #EFF is definitely getting fired over this stupid post.
@eff I fart in your general direction.
@eff Oh, that's disappointing.
@eff are you serious? You guys are compromised.
