Dear European Commission: the 2 June TDM opt-out workshop sets infrastructure rules for the entire web, not terms of trade between two industries. Consult groups left out, judge front-runners honestly, & let IETF deliver an open, global standard.

28 January: The #EP #JURI Committee votes on the Voss Report on #Copyright & #GenAI.
Dear MEPs: Reject it! Keep EU AI policy grounded in technical & legal reality.
The proposals undermine EU's digital sovereignty & competitiveness goals.

🤖 Europe’s AI future is at risk! MEP Voss’ draft Report on #Copyright & #GenerativeAI is fundamentally flawed.
🚨 Europe must choose: lead the AI revolution or become its casualty.

🔗 C4C’s analysis: https://t.co/OCMtMZoR8u

⚠️ The #DigitalNetworksAct risks tilting the "level playing field" in EU digital policy.
Regulatory capture. Paid prioritisation. Threats to #NetNeutrality.
C4C says: No to tolls on digital expression. Yes to open, fair internet access.

🎬 AI flips the script: #TheBrutalist used @respeecher to perfect Hungarian 🇭🇺 dialogues. Yet, impeding AI's ability to learn from local content could harm the authenticity & cultural richness the EU seeks to preserve.

When will this madness end?

From @RollingStone: "Major record labels have sued the online library Internet Archive over thousands of old recordings, raising the question: Who owns the past?" ⤵️

Most importantly, this is the biggest evidence so far that the DSM does indeed cover AI training, something that most of us have argued from the start. It will be interesting to see if this is appealed, and if so, if it eventually makes it to the CJEU.

[Andres Guadamuz @technollama]

Big news courtesy of @thebruess, LAION has successfully defended a copyright infringement challenge in a German court. This is the first European case testing the TDM exceptions in the DSM Directive. https://t.co/BjdMMoulzt

Take action: Sign the open letter to publishers, asking them to restore access to the 500,000+ books removed from our library ⤵️ https://t.co/wnBnSDlTUQ

🚨 The recent decision of publishers to remove books from the @internetarchive is an outrage against #openknowledge.

✊🏾 We stand with them and ask you to sign their petition too: https://t.co/ycQ7sb0Tt4

[EveryLibrary @EveryLibrary]

The California Freedom to Read Act of 2024 (AB1825) would prohibit book bans in California’s public libraries.

The State Assembly has already passed it—now the Senate can send it to the Governor to become law.
