Canada’s new right-to-repair exemptions to copyright law are as useful as a chocolate teapot
A couple of weeks ago, Walled Culture wrote about the deeply unsatisfactory process for obtaining exemptions to the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s ban on the circumvention of copyright protection measures. As the post explained, meaningful and useful exemptions are blocked by the copyright industry as a matter of course, and only the tiniest and most trivial ones are graciously […]

Research suggests more open access training for academics could help boost its uptake and support
Open access publishing, which allows people to read academic papers without a subscription, seems such a good idea. It means that anyone, anywhere in the world, can read the latest research without needing to pay. Academic institutions can spend less to keep their scholars up-to-date with work in their field. It also helps disseminate research, which means that […]

Organisations call on UK government to safeguard AI innovation from being throttled by copyright
As Walled Culture has often noted, the process of framing new copyright laws is tilted against the public in multiple ways. And on the rare occasions when a government makes some mild concession to anyone outside the copyright industry, the latter invariably rolls out its highly-effective lobbying machine to fight against such measures. It’s happening again in the …

Two important reasons for keeping AI-generated works in the public domain
Generative AI continues to be the hot topic in the digital world – and beyond. A previous blog post noted that this has led to people finally asking the important question whether copyright is fit for the digital world. As far as AI is concerned, there are two sides to the question. The first is whether generative AI systems can be trained on copyright materials […]

Of true fans and superfans: the rise of an alternative business model to copyright
One of the commonest arguments from supporters of copyright is that creators need to be rewarded and that copyright is the only realistic way of doing that. The first statement may be true, but the second certainly isn’t. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) notes, most art was created without copyright, when the dominant way of rewarding […]

From DeepSeek to Stargate: How dramatic AI developments will re-shape the copyright landscape
Walled Culture started covering generative AI relatively early, back in October 2022. That’s just two years ago, and yet the technological progress since then has been extraordinary, whatever you think about the other issues gen AI raises. The latest breakthrough is particularly interesting because it has come from China. The site Live Science explains why the new reasoning model […]

How copyright makes the climate crisis worse
Many of the posts here on the Walled Culture blog examine fairly niche problems that copyright is causing. Although they are undoubtedly important, in the overall scheme of things they can hardly be called major. But sometimes copyright can have important repercussions in the wider world, as an interesting post on The Conversation makes clear.
It reports on a […]

We are losing vast swathes of our digital past, and copyright stops us saving it
It is hard to imagine the world without the Web. Collectively, we routinely access billions of Web pages without thinking about it. But we often take it for granted that the material we want to access will be there, both now and in the future. We all hit the dreaded “404 not found” error from time to time, but merely pass on to other pages. What we tend to ignore […]

Good artists copy, great artists steal – and generative AI does the marketing for both
The attacks on generative AI started out claiming that it was all about protecting the creators whose works were being “stolen” in some mysterious way by virtue of software analysing them. In some cases, that high-minded stance has already degenerated into yet another scheme to pay collecting societies even more for doing next to nothing. But beyond all this …

A lawsuit against OpenAI has mainstream media finally asking if copyright is fit for the digital world
Last year saw great excitement over a new wave of AI services based on large language models (LLMs). That enthusiasm was somewhat overshadowed by a subsequent wave of lawsuits claiming that the LLMs were guilty of copyright infringement because of the training materials they used. Just before the start of 2024, a new lawsuit was filed, this time by The New York Times […]
