Today, I published a new white paper for @JoinFAI titled "Copyright, AI, and Great Power Competition." Copyright lawsuits are the greatest threat to the U.S. AI industry. If the U.S. is serious about leading the world in AI development and diffusion, we cannot ignore copyright.🧵

Ditch the flatscreen TVs & put in a tabletop Ms. Pacman machine, and I'd eat here twice a week.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this makes little sense to me. Was the federal gov't tricked into accepting unfavorable terms? Seems like the repair issues would have been well understood by all parties. And then there's the whole 28 USC 1498 thing to boot. #righttorepair

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves.

So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades.

That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.

Here's how you know a copyright opinion was a disaster: the Tenth Circuit just spent 79 pages writing it again. New on Copyright Lately:

Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad.

I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

That's us! 🌍

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

[NASA @NASA]

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

NASA’s Artemis II Launch https://t.co/IDRfC7J4RX

[NASA @NASA]

Action. Wonder. Adventure. Artemis II has got it all. Don't miss the moment. Our crewed Moon mission will launch as early as April 1.

“Dad, we can’t leave the rocket without a .5 together!!” I love these two ladies, and I’m boarding that rocket a very proud father.

[John Kraus @johnkrausphotos]

If you were born after 19:45:58 UTC on December 19, 1972, you have not been alive during a time when a crewed lunar spaceflight was underway.

This is approximately 75% of the global population.

That could change as soon as Wednesday evening with the planned launch of Artemis II.

Hundreds of thousands of people near Kennedy Space Center will see the launch with their own eyes and likely millions will watch live online.

If you can't make it out in person, I hope you'll tune in and watch as NASA makes its first attempt to send Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen into space and around the Moon this week.

It is not often you have the opportunity to witness a historic moment in real time. Please watch and soak it in, and after launch, look up at the Moon and smile knowing that our great return to the lunar environment is well underway.

Godspeed, Artemis II!

The Supreme Court just rewrote the rules for contributory copyright infringement. What it all means for secondary liability, the DMCA safe harbor, and the pending AI output cases—up now on Copyright Lately:
https://t.co/RJRTjdiysw

[Devlin Hartline @devlinhartline]

@zvisrosen The reason Congress codified inducement and contributory liability in the 1952 Patent Act is b/c the Supreme Court screwed it all up in the 1940s. Seems like a good time for another legislative overruling.

[Devlin Hartline @devlinhartline]

And now there's a specific intent requirement for contributory liability that never existed before. If a student turned this in, I'd give them a C-. Terrible reasoning, and no understanding of the history. #copyright

[Zvi S. Rosen @zvisrosen]

Sony v. Cox is out. Basically another Star Athletica but in the contributory infringement arena on first skim - substantially limits secondary liability in copyright especially in digital context: https://t.co/vkvI8bO9HS
