> There is no standard ‘All rights reserved’ wording and even the most basic notice covers all uses. Having said that, we’re pleased to see publishers starting to add to the ‘All rights reserved’ notice to explicitly exclude the use of a work for the purpose of training [generative AI], as it provides greater clarity and helps to explain to readers what cannot be done without rights-holder consent.”
So their position is that all rights reserved always meant that unauthorized use of any kind was already forbidden, but that was ignored / unenforceable and so they are adding “looking at you” language to carve out stuff that’s disallowed more specifically. Feels like bargaining, because this just gives the opposition the chance to argue that it wasn’t illegal before.
- dwattttt 2y ago> unauthorized use of any kind was already forbidden Is a funny sentence to have to say. Is unauthorized use also unauthorized?
- turbonaut 2y agoAuthorization and forbidding are both explicit actions. Unauthorized refers to the absence of authorisation. ‘Unauthorized use is forbidden’ means ‘all use must have explicit permission.’ Clearly it is a bit disingenuous as it usually means ‘all use I don’t like / is not inline with norms’.
