#fairuseweek — Public Fediverse posts

AI relies on practices such as fair use and text and data mining, as large data sets are critical to train these systems. This includes generative #AI and large language models (#LLMs), which are trained on a wide variety of publicly available data. More on Fair Use here: https://buff.ly/3CXEE2V #FairUseWeek

Today starts Fair Use Week 2025, a week dedicated to highlighting the power of fair use. Unlike narrow exemptions that risk becoming outdated, fair use supports progress across industries. U.S. leadership in cutting-edge fields like #AI is a testament to the strength of policies like fair use. #FairUseWeek

How does #fairuse help libraries? Internet Archive's senior policy counsel, Lila Bailey, outlines how the fair use doctrine has helped us build our library, including web archives with The Wayback Machine & a growing collection of manuals: https://blog.archive.org/2024/03/01/fair-use-in-action-at-the-internet-archive/ #FairUseWeek

#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.

As promised, re-upping this awesome #fairuseweek blog post by @driscoll about teaching with abandonware, and specifically with the classic screen-saver Flying Toasters. "Fair use is essential to my everyday work." Amen! http://thetaper.library.virginia.edu/2023/02/23/abandonware-after-dark-how-fair-use-powers-media-studies.html

Just posted an amazing #fairuseweek guest-blog by @driscoll over at The Taper: http://thetaper.library.virginia.edu/2023/02/23/abandonware-after-dark-how-fair-use-powers-media-studies.html. The main takeaway for me is that I wish I were still in college so I could take his courses on software and media history. Gonna re-up this in the morning, because this post deserves better than a 5pm drop!

Wrap up #FairUseWeek with a discussion of this year's update to the #FairUse Jurisprudence Report, featuring @jacklerner, director of @UCIrvineIPAT and @SusanESeager, director of the Press Freedom Project with @UCILaw on 2/24 at noon ET! https://ipat.law.uci.edu/fairuse23

It's the 10th anniversary of #FairUseWeek, and we're here to remind you that libraries "need to... ensure we’re not letting fear of litigation prevent us from fully exercising rights granted to us by Congress in copyright law."

Alright, everybody, #fairuseweek continues with a guest post on The Taper from a UVA prof, Katie Schetlick, who used the doc filmmakers' best practices to help her students make podcasts about dancing using 15 years of dance archives at UVA! How's that for cross-disciplinary??? http://thetaper.library.virginia.edu/2023/02/22/thanks-to-fair-use-podcasting-about-dancing-is-easier-than-dancing-about-architecture.html.

As Pia Hunter writes in a new post for #FairUseWeek, the lawsuit against our library “is not about the expanded access IA provided during the pandemic. It is a challenge to how we can use materials in a digital age & how fair use supports our right to do so.” https://blogs.harvard.edu/copyrightosc/2023/02/21/fair-use-week-2023-10th-anniversary-day-two-with-guest-expert-prof-pia-hunter/

It's #fairuseweek, let's gooooo! I did a kickoff blog, including a link to my recent interview on Elizabeth Townsend Gard's quilting/copyright podcast (yes, that's a thing!) and a round up of other FU Week resources:
