Why “public AI”, built on open source software, is the way forward for the EU
A quarter of a century ago, I wrote a book called “Rebel Code”. It was the first – and is still the only – detailed history of the origins and rise of free software and open source, based on interviews with the gifted and generous hackers who took part. Back then, it was clear that open source represented a powerful alternative to the traditional proprietary approach to software […]

Le droit d'auteur + la #copyrightdirective ont permis de faire sauter la vidéo d'un lanceur d'alerte (G. Milgram) sur #Youtube concernant l'escroquerie du "béton biodynamique", piétinant les exceptions (droit de courte citation). Classique (nième épisode). https://x.com/GGmilgram/status/1853110481562595699

How to stop video games being made unplayable once support ends
The Pirate Party has long played an important role in fighting the worst excesses of copyright in the EU. For example, when a major copyright update was being discussed, the Pirate Party MEP Felix Reda wrote an insightful and practical report on what needed changing. Most of his recommendations were ignored in the final EU Copyright Directive, but at least someone […]

Poland is part of the EU, meaning that they are required to uphold the provisions of the 2001 EU #CopyrightDirective, including #Article6, which bans this kind of reverse-engineering. The researchers are planning to present their work again at the #ChaosCommunicationsCongress in Hamburg this month - Germany is also a party to the #EUCD. The threat to researchers from presenting this work is real - but so is the threat to conferences that host them:

The world is indeed watching. We have seen through 🇪🇺 #CopyrightDirective that a fair distribution of value between platforms and publishers is possible and desirable. I commend 🇨🇦 efforts to ensure access to free, independent media on fair terms!

Je tombe sur cet extrait du livre de R. Bachelot, c'est proprement stupéfiant de voir qu'elle se place en extrémiste de la propriété intellectuelle et critique l'UE alors que littéralement toutes les exigences de la France ont été acceptées sur la #copyrightdirective.

The 🇫🇮 Finnish Parliament’s Constitutional Law Committee reminds us that copyright should not trump fundamental rights - @glynmoody
#WalledCulture - the book explores the EU #CopyrightDirective battle

https://walledculture.org/finnish-parliament-reminds-us-that-copyright-should-not-trump-fundamental-human-rights/ -
According to the Finnish Parliament’s Constitutional Law Committee, the EU #copyrightdirective is not compatible with the §16 of the Finnish Constitution “Educational Rights" https://libereurope.eu/article/the-fundamental-right-to-education-and-science-constitutional-law-v-copyright-law/
The §16(3) of the Finnish constitution states that "The freedom of #science, the arts and higher education is guaranteed". It is remarkably similar to the §33(1) of the Italian constitution. And yet, the Italian parliament did not raise any objection. -

1/2 #CopyrightDirective marked a key moment in internet history.Nowadays, we see police playing songs protected by copyright because they know that YouTube’s automated filters would block the content. So, if anyone recorded potential police abuse, they can't share it. 🚔❌
