Zuckerberg 'personally authorized' Meta's copyright infringement, publishers say

Substack Confirms Breach Exposed 700K User Emails and Phone Numbers

Yet another #CEO saying that, because they and many of those who work for their #forprofit #company have done very well out of the existing #copyright regime, nothing should be allowed to change it, and certainly not #ai:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/18/ai-authors-publishing-regulation

As a rejoinder, here are two reasons why the existing copyright regime is not fit for purpose and should be transformed. They're taken from my forthcoming book Defund Culture, which is being published by a non-profit, scholar-led, #openaccess publisher under a Collective Conditions for Re-Use (CC4r) license:

1) Copyright is a major driver of #inequality in the twenty-first century, playing a pivotal but often overlooked role with regard to understanding the roots of disparities of #wealth in modern societies (Bellos and Montagu).

2) Copyright overwhelmingly serves #corporate interests – those of tech monopolies, #music #labels, #publishers - while restricting access to knowledge, ideas and the cultural #commons

Update. "#DOGE order leads to journal cancellations by U.S. agricultural library"
https://www.science.org/content/article/doge-order-leads-journal-cancellations-u-s-agricultural-library

"The #USDA on Friday told staff members it has canceled subscriptions carried by its National Agricultural Library as part of a drive by President Donald #Trump’s administration to cut federal spending. The move appears to drop nearly 400 of the library’s roughly 2000 journals, including many prominent in various agricultural subfields —but curiously none from the world’s three largest scientific publishers, all of which are #ForProfit. USDA staff members depicted the move as hasty, indiscriminate slashing…Studies of journal subscription fees indicate that on average, scientific #SocietyPublishers charge less than such for-profit companies."

PS: (1) Of course the best ag research should be #OpenAccess. But that's a goal, not the current reality, and while we work for that goal, policymaking agencies still need access the best research. (2) If efficiency requires budget cuts, why focus the cuts on journals from #nonprofit #publishers, which on average are lower in price and higher in quality?

From DeepSeek to Stargate: How dramatic AI developments will re-shape the copyright landscape

Walled Culture started covering generative AI relatively early, back in October 2022. That’s just two years ago, and yet the technological progress since then has been extraordinary, whatever you think about the other issues gen AI raises. The latest breakthrough is particularly interesting because it has come from China. The site Live Science explains why the new reasoning model […]

The truth about copyright: even successful authors can’t live on the royalties publishers pay them

Copyright is built on a lie that most people seem to accept: artists can make a decent living from the current system of rewards that copyright provides. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) explores, all the data about artist remuneration shows that isn’t true. Alongside such dry statistics, it’s good to hear about the personal experiences of creators, and I […]

"#VanessaBaraitser states “I've found that #Assange’s conduct is capable of amounting to an offence in the #UK. (…) I don't accept that the mere fact charges are brought in the US demonstrates (…) bad faith.”

This [seems to argue] that #JulianAssange’s actions (…) fall foul of (…) the UK’s #OfficialSecretsAct 1989, [criminalising #publishers] "who disclose protected, damaging materials and which they have disclosed knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, would be #damaging”."
