  Is there a way to distribute the hosting of the Internet Archive, similar to how Anna’s Archive functions?

    Actually there are several legal arguments about this currently ongoing.

    There isn’t really a final decision yet, but I think I agree with Cory Doctorow’s opinion that the solution is to make the output of generative AI tools uncopywritable/public domain. This protects artists broadly, as any company that wants to produce a copywrited final work (e.g. film, television, music, books, etc) will need to hire an artist to do it.

      I’d say that’s always a good position. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him come out on the wrong side of a topic.

      i think that should be a given but it does not solve peoples work being taken and mutilated by an algorithm.

      certainly takes incentive out of it for someone that wants to use it for a production, but im sure there are ways they would get around it.

    The Archive strongly supports AI training being Fair Use. It has even advised the UK government to relax copyright laws to permit training. blog.archive.org/…/internet-archive-submits-comme…

    Some of the precedents won by AI companies offer great support for the Archive, but remember that they also had to pay up on occasion.

      it can be fair use as long as it is open. OpenAi used to be a non-profit after all. As it stands now they can go fuck themselves as far as im concerned.

  Keep the donations coming. IA is worth a million times more to humanity than all of these publishers combined.

    IA is worth more than AI.

    I’m just glad they didn’t go into a protracted and expensive legal battle with this one, which isn’t exactly a good use of donated funds.
