You think this ruling on photography is wrong because of a strained comparison to AI use in a compiler? Take a step back and rethink your approach. The copyright office here is dealing with fundamental principles, not worrying about what th

There's plenty of jurisprudence on these issues for posters here to interact with, but in classic HN style, they will just keep pushing these arguments back and forth based on the headline for this one instance. People just want to pla

Why would anyone need to question whether photographs can be copyrighted at all? It's been settled jurisprudence for quite a long time.

Wisconsin's abortion law was completely irrelevant in the modern era until Roe was overturned, so that's not really a great point. At best, it's incredibly dishonest. Besides, the poster wasn't saying it was because of a

It's their product and their code, there is no reasonable way I can responsible for knowing what it does as opposed to Amazon, who is in complete control of the device and system. I can't even believe I have to explain this.

Fair point. Is that what they put in Code Red? Because that drink tastes damn red.

It's political because it assumes anything happened besides what actually did, which was arbitrary number of people were fired from the agencies that Musk was most easily able to do so at, with no regard for what their roles were or th

I find it really weird when people just willy nilly repeat principles without any regard to their meaning or application.

I never thought your arguments were in bad faith, just not based in actual fact nor understanding of the legal issues at play. I imagine you are capable of appreciating the difference. My point was making a big deal out of the statutory dam

Oh, you don't? That's nice for you. I wonder if the general public perceives DOGE as being an effort to root out corruption because that's the only thing the President mentions about. But hey! You don't care!! Also, what

It seems incredibly unlikely on what basis? Your complete lack of legal expertise and any insight into legal practice? If you draft a complaint in federal court saying you were owed $30,000, you don't get to later change that to a high

I'm not sure how this is actually a response to my comment. I'm an IP litigator, asserting max statutory damages is something every attorney does at the outset otherwise they'd be waiving that recovery. It's really not t

There's pretty much no way any court ever gives any copyright holder the maximum amount allowed under statutory damages, which is only trebled to the possibility of $150k when the infringement was willful. I love Weird Al, but I don&#x

Not sure why this is being downvoted, it is pretty spot-on.

I agree with you, it's an absurd suggestion offered with zero reasoning.

Start might be not violating copyright law and staying within the boundaries of established fair use principles. IA is constantly trying to push the law on these issues, for better or worse, and putting the entirety of its operations at ris

by freejazz 2y ago
But that's exactly what the copyright act provides for... statutory damages not tied to the actual damages lost by the copyright owner, and they are only available in limited circumstances. And statutory damages still have to be tied t

That's not really a substantive analysis of the issue, which I agree with the OP that these articles never really address fully.

Did you even read my post? Doesn't seem like it. That's what the President said Elon is doing. >Simply deciding that all of these programs are crucial and therefore no waste was found, is not honest journalism. Nor is the descr

How is that even a response to my post? At all? I didn't express any opinion if the US should use force... so I'm not sure what you could agree or disagree with about that.

Literally any of them? I don't even get this comment at all.

I always wonder how is it that you are allowed to post so much in controversial political threads, yet your posts are usually significantly voted down. Does the rate limiting not apply to you? Also is anyone seriously suggested France or Ge
