  • Would be nice if it could be set as some kind of post / comment metadata, hidden from view but there in the code.

    I’d love that, if it would be legally respected by corporations/scrapers. I even mention my license intention for my content in my bio here on Lemmy as well. It would save me allot of hassle arguing with others as well.

    Until then, I have to embed the license in the content itself, especially while the new AI law is just starting to sort out these issues.

    Like putting your sexual kinks in a email signature or telling everyone who didn’t ask that you’re vegan.
    (quoting another person, not the one I’m directly replying to)

    But honestly people, if you are being bothered by a simple link in a comment, that is allowed on Lemmy, then you really need to look within. If your client of choice is not displaying subscripted fonts correctly, and hence the text/link looks worse than it should, then you really need to speak with the devs of the client about that (as I mentioned in my ‘FAQ’ link, I’m using official Lemmy.World formatting). And if you don’t like seeing a license in general, then I can’t help you with that one, except for maybe giving some ‘touch grass’ advice (especially to the person I quoted above).

  • From United States Copyright Office

    Based on an analysis of copyright law and policy, informed by the many thoughtful comments in response to our NOI, the Office makes the following conclusions and recommendations:

    • Questions of copyrightability and AI can be resolved pursuant to existing law, without the need for legislative change.

    • The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output.

    • Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.

    • Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements.

    • Whether human contributions to AI-generated outputs are sufficient to constitute authorship must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

    • Based on the functioning of current generally available technology, prompts do not alone provide sufficient control.

    • Human authors are entitled to copyright in their works of authorship that are perceptible in AI-generated outputs, as well as the creative selection, coordination, or arrangement of material in the outputs, or creative modifications of the outputs.

    • The case has not been made for additional copyright or sui generis protection for AI- generated content.

    The Office will continue to monitor technological and legal developments to determine whether any of these conclusions should be revisited. It will also provide ongoing assistance to the public, including through additional registration guidance and an update to the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices.

    From the article …

    This effectively means that, if you get banned by the Bluesky company, you’re out. Sure, you could still host your own Personal Data Server, wait for a non-existent independent Relay to fetch your data and interact with users of third-party Bluesky applications. But you won’t: you’re effectively at the mercy of the Bluesky company.

    Point two, and more importantly: this approach provides an “exit strategy” in the event that Bluesky “goes evil”. Right now, that’s false: parts of the social network are still centralized and it’s impossible to avoid that. But even if we limit ourselves to PDSs and Relay, the current situation is that federation is only achievable in theory and no one has done it in practice yet.
