#copyrightweek — Public Fediverse posts

"Copyright owners increasingly claim more draconian #copyright law and policy will fight back against big tech companies. In reality, copyright gives the most powerful companies even more control over creators and competitors. Today’s copyright policy concentrates power among a handful of corporate gatekeepers—at everyone else’s expense. "

@eff serious question: if you’re promoting #copyrightweek here, why encourage people to follow the action on Xwitter? We’re here and in the #opensocial web—even if I’m with you on this one, you can’t make me go back.

We continue to fight for a version of copyright that truly serves the public interest. And so, every year, EFF and a number of diverse organizations participate in #CopyrightWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/its-copyright-week-2024-join-us-fight-better-copyright-law-and-policy

In the battleground of history, archival work is cultural defense. Luckily, digital media can be quickly and cheaply duplicated and shared. #copyrightweek #twitter https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/save-your-twitter-account

The proliferation of DRM and walled-garden game vendors has eroded ownership rights over video games, and risks the same fragmented subscription frustrations we see with film. #copyrightweek #videogames https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/fragging-subscription-model-comes-gamers

Open Data isn't just about transparency, it's about equity. That's why we need it in the future of AI. #copyrightweek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/01/open-data-and-ai-black-box

As digital technologies dramatically expand the reach of copyright, fair use helps ensure that the rights of the public expand as well. #CopyrightWeek

This week is #CopyrightWeek. In honor of this week, I want to give a shoutout to the #MutopiaProject. Volunteers take sheet music from the public domain and typeset it in #Lilypond under a CC BY-SA license. Enjoy the musical possibilities and be free! https://www.mutopiaproject.org/

For #CopyrightWeek this week, we want to direct you to FSF program manager Miriam Bastian's recent article where she wrote about freedom-denying practices in academic science, in both published works and in software. Read more: https://u.fsf.org/3vs
