I truly love and embrace the work of #OpenAI. Their respect for #copyrights and the work of #artists has allowed companies all around the world to become #business partners across global #economies.
I also admire #Elon #Musk and his magnificent mind, #creativity, and #gaming skills. He's truly the most humble, funny, and kind person I have ever seen on #Twitter.

The government has adopted a bill allowing it to investigate businesses and disclose, as needed, their names in cases of human rights abuses and other malicious activities related to the use of artificial intelligence. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/28/japan/ai-abuse-countermeasures/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #ai #personalinformation #copyrights #tech
Technology can open doors, but it is the human spirit behind the lens that gives films their true power. How can we stop the advent of AI from stripping cinema of its soul? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/23/japan/ai-japan-asia-film-industry/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #tiff #andrijanacvetkovikj #filmfestivals #japanesefilm #tech #ai #intellectualproperty #copyrights
Epic Allows Internet Archive To Distribute For Free ‘Unreal’ & ‘Unreal Tournament’ Forever - https://www.techdirt.com/2024/11/18/epic-allows-internet-archive-to-distribute-for-free-unreal-unreal-tournament-forever/ "It creates this crazy situation in which a company insists on retaining its #copyrights over a video game that it has effectively disappeared with no good or legitimate way for the public to preserve them. "
"It may be the first time a jury has decided that #cheating software violates a #game company’s #copyrights.
The win may only mean pocket change for #Bungie, and it won’t likely put an end to #onlinecheating, but it does put a jury on record about the legality of creating such cheats."
The Tokyo District Court on Thursday ordered the operator of a now-defunct manga piracy website to pay ¥1.7 billion in compensation to three major Japanese publishers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/18/japan/crime-legal/manga-mura-copyright-ruling/ #japan #crimelegal #mangamura #copyrights #kadokawa #intellectualproperty #manga #japanesecourts
Well, here's a twist: American Airlines filed--and won by default--a #ScheduleA case against defendants who allegedly "carried out a scheme to defraud jobseekers in which they sent out emails holding themselves out as Recruitment Directors for American," using AA marks and "unauthorized copies of American's copyrighted images."
Am. Airlines v. Schedule A, 2024 WL 945262, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 16, 2024).
@davetron5000 The ultra-rich have better options for deductions, including lower #taxes on #capitalgains because that's not regular income under US tax laws. I'm not a #CPA, but AFAIK 1099 income is still "income" taxed at income rates—unless it's corporate income, which is taxed on net. #Authors & authors' estates assign #copyrights & #residuals to corporations or trusts for exactly these reasons, among others. If you get substantial #royalties, talk to an accountant or tax lawyer!
28. Update. I've argued here that #AI-generated #summaries needn't infringe the #copyrights in the originals, even if some still do infringe.
AI companies are growing in confidence that they can now avoid that kind of infringement & even indemnify users sued for it.

"IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Getty Images, Shutterstock & Adobe are among those who’ve explicitly said they’ll indemnify generative AI customers over IP rights claims. Today, OpenAI joins that group."
Rapid improvements in image generation have spurred artists to push back on generative AI startups, which ingest vast troves of internet data in order to generate content like pictures or text. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/06/tech/ai-dalle-artist-revolt/?utm_content=buffer0471e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #tech #ai #art #copyrights #openai

@ben Justified! OpenAI must not be allowed to work as a criminal tool to steal, what is not Open Intellectual Property but proprietary product protected by copyrights & property rights.
@raymondpert Musk-co-funded OpenAI doesn't want to discuss risks/threats of Artificial Intelligence???
There's more than one way to implement controlled digital lending (#CDL) without infringing #copyrights. Here's a useful summary and comparison of approaches in Canada, the UK, and the US.

A work of art created by artificial intelligence without any human input cannot be copyrighted under United States law, a U.S. court in Washington has ruled. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/08/22/world/crime-legal/ai-art-no-copyrights-us-court/?utm_content=buffer5d0d2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #worldnews #crimelegal #ai #intellectualproperty #copyrights
"If #OpenAI is found to have violated any #copyrights in this process, #FederalLaw allows for the infringing articles to be destroyed at the end of the case.
In other words, if a federal judge finds that OpenAI illegally copied The Times' articles to train its #AI model, the court could order the company to destroy #ChatGPT's dataset. " #AILaw #GenerativeAI
