This outcome was pretty important. Companies can't charge you because they hold the copyright to the details of a law.

Le créateur du comics Fables déclare mettre dans le domaine public l'intégralité de la série.

Le dessinateur-scénariste a annoncé ça suite à un désaccord avec DC Comics et un changement radical d'opinion le droit d'auteur.

So an author discovers someone is selling AI-generated books under her name on Amazon and then Amazon (initially) claims they can't remove them because she hasn't trademarked her name...

The books have been removed by now, but probably only because the author, Jane Friedman, went public.

I love every piece that considers copyright and Mickey Mouse, so this one is obviously a great one: Jon Stokes, in Reason, shows how generative AI poses a challenge for studios like Disney. And highlights a current effort to make generative AI models - in their current form - illegal, as forms of infringing derivative works. #copyright #generativeAI #MickeyMouse

40 years ago, giant entertainment companies embarked on a slow-moving act of arson. The fuel for this arson was #copyright #TermExtension (making copyrights last longer), including *retrospective* copyright term extensions that took works out of the #PublicDomain and put them back into copyright for decades. Vast swathes of culture became off-limits, pseudo-property with absentee landlords, with much of it crumbling into dust.
