Not sure this argument works unless you are willing to give away the other property on death like houses, stocks, farms, etc. Maybe 60 years is too long, but that doesn't seem to be your argument.

Well, they can't say no if you are already in possession of the image. Certainly, they are under no obligation to take the photo, deliver the photo, host the photo on a server, but once you have the photo, there is no legal mechanism f

Well, then your wife and her publisher are partially responsible for the continual erosion of our rights. The public domain is important and worth defending.

People can sue for anything they like and yet we still mangage to get up in the morning and do things. Bridgeman was 25 years ago — I would be curious if in that time, you can point to any cases where someone has challenged the use of a pho

This was a nice idea that was tested and failed in court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel... . Making a reproduction with a camera does not create a new copyright because copyright protects

It seems like these are all already in the public domain. They were already free to use however we liked and neither the Getty nor anyone else could use copyright to prevent that. It is nice that the Getty is providing some scanning and hos

In what sense is a novel, never-before-seen image that comes out of DALL·E 3 "encoded in" in the system? The image may be, in a sense, encoded in the latent space of images, but so is every image (of the same dimensions) that ever

Not sure we read the same article. The first point under "Decide how to respond" is "1. Ignore" (although it suggests this is risky if ignore includes continuing what lead to the C&D)

Amazon drives me absolutely nuts. I clicked on the link for Polya's 'How to Solve It' and it took me to a page with a $69.99 paperback and a link to a $10 e-textbook. I click the textbook link and now the paperback link is to

The much more likely scenario is that there is a precedent-setting court case. This is how it happened with practically every other instance of copyright bumping into technology.

It's seems just like a poor choice of words and semantic argument around the term "violate". Fair use is an affirmative defense — you concede you did this thing that would be illegal if not for this other extenuating informat

by encomiast 3y ago
There's really no reason for anyone to be confident that this is or is not fair use. The law around fair use is a quagmire of conflicting ideas, cases, and opinions and most of the law is in the form of precedents since the letter of t

For sure, that could be an instance of infringement depending on how it is used. But that's a minuscule percentage of the output and still might be fair use (read the decision in Authors Guild, Inc. v. Google, Inc.). But even if that i

Yeah this…the conclusion I would have drawn is not that the gold star took between 2-5 on average, but rather, 85% of people who self-select as enjoying a programming challenge where not able to finish more than half the tasks. Not that tha

I think it grossly mischaracterizes what copyright protects to describe is as "most of the knowledge, research and learning materials". Still I agree, that the extensions of copyright length and the behavior/incentives of pub

If you register your work, which requires some effort, but is not prohibitively expensive or difficult, you can sue for statutory damages, which are substantial enough (up to $150k for willful infringement) that lawyers will work on conting

Are you really suggesting that learning from watching others, going to library, taking in the public domain, etc. is a form a theft?

by encomiast 3y ago
I don't think most people believe we are better off without copyright. I think people believe that copyright protects specific concrete expressions and that fair use exists to allow others to build on ideas in transformative ways. It&#

This is not a fair take. To know enough about something like a different religion is not something you just go fix. It's not like reading the Wikipedia page on Taoism will give me the cultural context to evaluate how a joke about Taois
