Internet Archive Takes Another Blow in Court on Copyright - Publishing Perspectives

This is a really tiring subject.

While tootling around in the Catosphere Panzer found another chapter in the never-ending Internet Archive story at the Publishing Perspectives site.

According to Porter Anderson's post, the U.S. Second Court of Appeals has upheld the March decision that the Internet Archive (IA) committed copyright infringement against the publishers.which brought the lawsuit against IA. There are several links to more information about the IA lawsuit included in the post.

 

Panzer says, "The case began in 2020. Was decided against IA for copyright infringement earlier this year. IA filed an appeal of the decision. The decision was just upheld. Will IA admit it was wrong now? This little kitty is betting, 'No'."

NaNoWriMo and AI - Various

There's a lot of people unhappy right now.

Today everywhere Panzer went he found posts about the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization and it's recently published stand on AI. Part of the problem NaNoWriMo caused was by the words and phrases used and part of it was accepting as a sponsor a company that uses a chatbot. There's more to the problems, so you'll need to read the posts below to get the information. (Sorry about the bad wordspro in some of the posts, but people are angry.)

 

 Panzer says, "Be sure to read the Comments sections for the posts that have them.."

Note:Here are some of the posts about the NaNoWriMo dust up. You'll need to decide about your own snacks.
