Walled Culture the book, three years on

Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

News Summary: Copymight Coalition Forms to Tackle AI Copyright Challenges

Thank you to a fellow ALLi team member for passing along what will be the penultimate story of 2025. One of the things that has been so notable about the news this year has been the sheer number and diversity of copyright issues…

RSL is the missing layer for the AI era: set terms, get attribution, and get paid (per crawl or per inference). Open standard, collective leverage. If AI uses your work, it should respect your license. Time to take control.

"A few weeks ago, the Spanish Ministry of Culture released a legislative proposal aimed at introducing extended #collectivelicensing (#ECL) for the development of #generalpurposeAI models.

Under the proposed framework, a collective management organization (CMO) certified by the Ministry of Culture would be able to grant non-exclusive authorizations with extended effect to reproduce and extract works and other protected subject matter."

#AI #GenerativeAI #EU #ML #MachineLearning #Copyright #TDM #CollectiveLicensing: "Many creators have a very different reaction to the emergence of generative ML systems. They worry that their creative work will be exploited by companies building generative ML applications, which in turn will weaken the demand for their work. There are concerns that all the value generated by these tools will go to large tech companies, with none going to the artists and creators whose work is used to train these models. Others are concerned about the commodification of their unique artistic styles[7], or simply want to control how and by whom their work is used. For all of them, the EU approach to TDM /ML opens up an interesting perspective: They can use their ability to opt-out as leverage to set terms and demand compensation.

Given the scale of ML training (which for foundational models is at the scale of the Internet), this lever is unlikely to work very well if used by individual creators on their own. Instead, it seems clear that creators will need to band together to collectively enforce their rights against those who wish to use their works as input for ML training."
