Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Then they need to come up with a different model.
Trump swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. That means that, among many other things, he swore to uphold the Constitutional mandate for equal protection under the law. And that means that AI companies are just as much subject to copyright law as anyone else.
If they can't meet their responsibility to obey the law, then that's their problem.
(Look at me - pretending that this administration, or most of the rest of the government, charged as they are with checking and balancing the executive branch, has even the faintest concern for the law...)
Yeah you can't pick or choose what gets enforced. If AI can use it then everything is public domain and copyright is gone.
Woo!
I would have a much better opinion ai if it resulted in that.
Yes, but Trump also lies constantly. I doubt that oath means any more to him than anything else he's ever said.
Well of course it doesn't mean anything to him.
But violating a sworn oath is perjury, and perjury is an impeachable offense.
Add it to the pile.
Hahahahahaha like he cares about the constitution.
Old habits die hard, I guess
Copyright is not an obstacle because training is transformative use.
These companies are subject to the law, and that's why they're getting sued over pirating all their training material.
