If you still think #intellectualProperty is for defending artists rights, consider that Caty Parry is unable to sue the White House for using her music in war propaganda video. She doesn't own the rights to her music, they belong to Latimus Music.

#IP is for the exact opposite than what is stated. It's there to dispossess the authors on a massive scale.

#Distillation, a technique used to improve #AImodels, has become a contentious issue: While some argue it enables #innovation and #efficiency, others, including U.S. officials, are concerned it allows Chinese companies to rapidly develop competitive AI models by leveraging American #intellectualproperty. This has led to a debate about whether distillation constitutes #IPtheft and how to balance innovation with #nationalsecurity concerns. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/25/hat-is-distillation-and-why-is-everyone-so-obsessed-with-it-this-week.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg

Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues.

Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpredictable results.
One more argument for self-hosting.

Also interesting to projects such as #bizzfed or #nolto both of which would likely or clearly be banned from the platform now.
