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 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?

@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)
