- AI tools should not require permission slips for reading webpages or using software.
- Licensing AI training data threatens innovation and inclusivity in AI development.
- Fair use is crucial for machine learning (ML) and text/data mining (TDM) research.
- ML helps in scientific advancements, such as understanding proteins and space nebulae.
- Requiring AI developers to get authorization limits competition and increases costs.
- Legacy gatekeepers use copyright to stifle competition and access to information.
- Licensing AI training materials benefits tech monopolists and creates high barriers to entry.
- Generative AI tools democratize content creation and free expression.
- Fair use is under attack by copyright creep, threatening public rights.
- Expanding copyright does not address AI's real harms but threatens beneficial uses.
