Here’s what the Supreme Court actually said about lower court findings on fair dealing in the Access Copyright v. York University case. Years of misleading claims and denials on the reality of fair dealing copyright law in Canada continues.
No Supreme Court decision alters lower court findings on fair dealing and educational copying. Why is CFLA misstating legal history? #FixCopyright 5/6
“If a federal judge finds that OpenAI illegally copied The Times' articles to train its AI model, the court could order the company to destroy ChatGPT's dataset, forcing the company to recreate it using only work that it is authorized to use.” npr.org/2023/08/16/119…

'New York Times' considers legal action against OpenAI as copyright tensions swirl
The news publisher and maker of ChatGPT have held tense negotiations over striking a licensing deal for the use of the paper's articles to train the chatbot. Now, legal action is being considered.
Many, many thanks to all our colleagues in libraries across Canada & the US, who generously and kindly responded to our queries and shared their experiences with us!

UPDATE: Judge Koeltl has issued an order in Hachette Books v. Internet Archive, adopting the Archive's proposed definition of "covered books." It may sound minor, but it's good news. Check out our updated blog post to learn more: authorsalliance.org/2023/08/11/upd…

Brianne Selman and I wrote an article for @ConversationCA with an idea for @canada: Change our copyright law, adopt secondary publishing rights, and support the goal of immediate open and free access to academic publications generated through publicly funded research. #openaccess

"Ultimately, more immediate open access at lower costs would mean we all have better access to information that could help us better understand the world around us" - Read the op-ed co-authored by #Queensu @markswartz on @ConversationCA: bit.ly/3KbVhrW |@queensulibrary
Despite efforts from Open Access advocates and funding agencies, much publicly funded research remains unavailable to the public. Secondary publishing rights for academic authors (as endorsed by @CFLAFCAB and @carlabrc) would change that: theconversation.com/secondary-publ…
