  6. "In a voice vote earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 6028, the “Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act.” The legislation is presented as a technical reorganization of some government agencies, but it’s much more than that.

    H.R. 6028 would fundamentally change the U.S. Copyright Office, and not in a good way. The bill removes the Library of Congress’ current supervisory role over the Copyright Office, transfers several powers directly to the Register of Copyrights, and makes the Register a presidential appointee, confirmed by the Senate.

    These changes would make an office that’s already hugely influential in copyright and tech policy much more political. EFF first explained why that’s a terrible idea when it came up nearly a decade ago. This bill, like the older one, weakens the few public-interest checks and balances that do exist. We hope the Senate promptly rejects this bill."

  11. @Primavera @winter If I had to pick a face to represent non-free software or copyright in general for a "myth of consensual whatever" meme, I'd suggest United States Copyright Office head Shira Perlmutter.

  16. "In a creative market dominated by five publishers, four studios, three labels, two mobile app stores, and a single company that controls all the ebooks and audiobooks, giving a creative worker extra rights to bargain with is like giving your bullied kid more lunch money.

    We need to protect artists from AI predation, not just create a new way for artists to be mad about their impoverishment.

    Incredibly enough, there is a really simple way to do that [protect artists from AI predation]… All through this #AIbubble, the #CopyrightOffice has maintained—correctly—that #AIgenerated works cannot be copyrighted, because copyright is exclusively for #humans. That is why the “monkey selfie” is in the #publicdomain. #Copyright is only awarded to works of human creative expression that are fixed in a tangible medium.

    And not only has the Copyright Office taken this position, they have defended it vigorously in court, repeatedly winning judgments to uphold this principle."
