@EUCommission I did my best to fill out the the questionnaire, but it is almost unreadable if you're not a lawyer and from what I did understand it seems very biased. I can't shake the impression that you seem to want to facilitate the whims of corporations instead of serving the interests of the people.

Because why is copyright suddenly an issue when is doesn't suit corporations anymore? Just apply and enforce the same laws that are used to prosecute or fine citizens that torrented a movie.

@EUCommission Only when, when the LLM produces infringing content (content that if produced by a human creator would be considered a close enough duplicate to be infringing), the entity operating the LLM is subject to the same penalties that the human creator would be.

The entity that requested the output is irrelevant. Even if it's the author of the original work asking the LLM to produce a copy of it, it's still infringing (unless the LLM operator can produce a written...

@EUCommission
It should not.

@EUCommission I would accept AI training on copyrighted material if and only if two conditions are met:

1. Humans must be allowed to download the same material for personal use. No more lawsuits for someone who torrents stuff for education or entertainment.

2. Everything that an AI model generates must be marked as such and automatically enters public domain. It has been trained on everyone's data so it should *be* everyone's data.

Essentially we would need to reform copyright altogether.

@EUCommission Only with permission of the copyright holder.

@EUCommission ask tech companies why they dont want employees reading patents. AI is IP laundering.

@EUCommission

If we don't do it, China and Russia and Iran will do it

We must do it to preserve western civilisation

Now, some people will say we can't have double standards on copyright violation - but that is invalid. The EU regularly operates double standards when western civilisation is at stake - for example, Israel and the 80 year war crimes and genocide of Palestine.

@EUCommission Please, stop promoting AI and problems related to AI. AI training cannot serve as an excuse for stealing human made content.

@EUCommission
The only legislation you should need it's double-tapping the “AI”.

@EUCommission

Never.
The AI-companies have enough money to pay royalties.
I expect legal prosecution of copyright-violations at least as rigorously as against children copying games or music in the past. Because these companies are doing this, fully aware of the copyright infringements. It’s effectively, state-sanctions organized crime.

@EUCommission Never without the explicit consent of the copyright holder.

@EUCommission Under no condition EVER.

@EUCommission For me it's fine to use copyright-protected work for research as long as there is a reference to that work. For AI training absolutely not. AI basically redistributes everything it was trained on so it's copyright violation.

@EUCommission isn't just asking the question already showing the influence of the money? i thought we have copyright protection. what for, if you ask this question now?
