  5. PBS: Betty Boop, Blondie and Nancy Drew enter the public domain in 2026. “Betty Boop and ‘Blondie’ are joining Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh in the public domain. The first appearances of the classic cartoon and comic characters are among the pieces of intellectual property whose 95-year U.S. copyright maximum has been reached, putting them in the public domain on Jan. 1.

    Mano, pagine di catalogo. Sono state fotografate tutte le pagine di “Vitamin TXT – words in contemporary art” (Phaidon, 2024) ma su ogni immagine è stata sovrapposta la mano. Gli scatti con la mano sovrapposta sono stati stampati in un fascicolo, che è stato allegato al volume originale, e il volume originale è stato riportato in biblioteca. #copyrights #arthacking Performance e installazione, 2024.

  7. #scotus skroowed the pooch on this case. They missed a golden opportunity to rule that the Berne Copyright Convention is incompatible with the US Constitition, and that, as directed by the #constitution , #copyright in the US is currently unconstitutional and should expire after 28 years.

    #Copyright was intended to last for a limited time, not to provide a continuing income stream for creators, and certainly not for the #heirs and #estates.

  8. #VernorVinge was very correct in his prediction in #RainbowsEnd that the first effects of #TechnologicalSingularity will be unlimited appetite for digitalized knowledge.

    "The fabric tunnel that stretched out behind it was a 'camera tunnel...' The shredded fragments of books and magazines flew down the tunnel like leaves in a tornado, twisting and tumbling. The inside of the fabric was stiched with thousands of tiny cameras. The shreds were being photographed again and again, from every angle and orientation, till finally the torn leaves dropped into a bin just in front of Robert."

    In his book all the world's books were quickly shredded with camera tunnel devices to digitize the knowledge as fast as possible in a manic arms race to make the best utility of AI.

    We are now there, except some books we have already, although we are probably missing some 99% of them because they are out of print, were never digitized and #OCR'd, have restrictive #copyrights or for simple availability.

    Things like #ProjectGutenberg have been a great boon already to AI.

    We are still missing all the quiet organizational knowledge, and people's life experiences. I started writing short autobiographical tidbits to the web to allow AIs to know me better.
