  1. Hey #lawFedi:

    How many ways besides libel can a false statement, whether on its own, or in combination with something else, be made to constitute civil or criminal offence? (What suffices to constitute fraud? negligent misrepresentation? breach of contract or warranty? tortuous interference? perjury? etc.…?)

    Suppose a rudimentary open-source #DRM were to be implemented in web servers and web browsers (or a web-browser add-on), such that the key to the TPM comprises proof of the user's agreement to and utterance of legal statements to the effect that they're not using "generative AI" (plagiarism synthesis) to interact with the site, will not use it during that interaction, and will not allow any #genAI software to access information from it or disclose that information to any entity that would? Suppose the ToS for the site were to require that perfunctory DRM.

    Would there be a way to exploit #DMCA1201 and/or the #CFAA to make it an offence (whether a crime, or a viable cause to sue) to bypass that DRM in order to interact with the website?

    Maybe @lessig or #EbenMoglen (anyone know him?) could draft something, to do to AI, through inversion of intent of those laws, as #copyleft to #copyright?

    @mgeist Would those laws correspond approximately to CMA §41 and to §342 of the Criminal Code?

  2. Don't miss Eben Moglen's "Snowden and the Future — Part IV: Freedom's Future"! A compelling deep dive on surveillance, privacy, and how to defend digital freedom. Thought-provoking and urgent — perfect for anyone who cares about rights online. #EbenMoglen #Snowden #Privacy #DigitalRights #Surveillance #Freedom #CivilLiberties #LaQuadratureDuNet #PeerTube #English

  3. "But we've been making Free Software for almost 25 years now, and we made Free Software so that liberty would be possible."

    Tried my hand at creating livecoded algorithmic music, over a TTS recording of #EbenMoglen's dotCommunist Manifesto.

  5. "We have to point out that if devices are unsafe, it is a legal obligation to permit us to make them safer. If you sell an ... unsafe automobile, and you attempt to prevent people from modifying those devices to make them safer, if you're out actually there actively interfering with attempts to make them safer, then when people get hurt you should be liable."
