    <title>Good models borrow, great models steal: intellectual property rights and generative AI | Policy and Society | Oxford Academic</title>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Two critical policy questions will determine the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on the knowledge economy and the creative sector. The first concerns how we think about the training of such models—in particular, whether the creators or owners of the data that are “scraped” (lawfully or unlawfully, with or without permission) should be compensated for that use. The second question revolves around the ownership of the output generated by AI, which is continually improving in quality and scale. These topics fall in the realm of intellectual property, a legal framework designed to incentivize and reward only human creativity and innovation. For some years, however, Britain has maintained a distinct category for “computer-generated” outputs; on the input issue, the EU and Singapore have recently introduced exceptions allowing for text and data mining or computational data analysis of existing works. This article explores the broader implications of these policy choices, weighing the advantages of reducing the cost of content creation and the value of expertise against the potential risk to various careers and sectors of the economy, which might be rendered unsustainable. Lessons may be found in the music industry, which also went through a period of unrestrained piracy in the early digital era, epitomized by the rise and fall of the file-sharing service Napster. Similar litigation and legislation may help navigate the present uncertainty, along with an emerging market for “legitimate” models that respect the copyright of humans and are clear about the provenance of their own creations."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["At the beginning of the twentieth century, two British inventors, Arthur Pollen and Harold Isherwood, became fascinated by a major military question: how to aim the big guns of battleships. These warships—of enormous geopolitical import before the advent of intercontinental missiles or drones—had to shoot in poor light and choppy seas at distant moving targets, conditions that impeded accurate gunfire. Seeing the need to account for a plethora of variables, Pollen and Isherwood built an integrated system for gathering data, calculating predictions, and transmitting the results to the gunners. At the heart of their invention was the most advanced analog computer of the day, a technological breakthrough that anticipated the famous Norden bombsight of World War II, the inertial guidance systems of nuclear missiles, and the networked “smart” systems that dominate combat today. Recognizing the value of Pollen and Isherwood’s invention, the British Royal Navy and the United States Navy pirated it, one after the other. When the inventors sued, both the British and US governments invoked secrecy, citing national security concerns.
"Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Analog Superpowers analyzes these and related legal battles over naval technology, exploring how national defense tested the two countries’ commitment to individual rights and the free market. Katherine C. Epstein deftly sets out Pollen’s and Isherwood’s pioneering achievements, the patent questions raised, the geopolitical rivalry between Britain and the United States, and the legal precedents each country developed to control military tools built by private contractors.
"Epstein’s account reveals that long before the US national security state sought to restrict information about atomic energy, it was already embroiled in another contest between innovation and secrecy. The America portrayed in this sweeping and accessible history isn’t yet a global hegemon but a rising superpower ready to acquire foreign technology by fair means or foul—much as it accuses China of doing today."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Over the past 25 years, social science research in diverse fields has shifted its best explanations of innovation from (a) atomistic invention and development by individuals, corporate or natural, to networked learning; (b) market-based innovation focused on material self-interest to interaction between market and nonmarket practices under diverse motivations; and (c) property rights exclusively to interaction between property and commons. These shifts have profound implications for how we must think about law and innovation. Patents, copyrights, noncompete agreements, and trade secret laws are all optimized for an increasingly obsolete worldview. Strong intellectual property impedes, rather than facilitates, innovation when we understand that knowledge flows in learning networks, mixing of market and nonmarket models and motivations, and weaving of commons with property are central to the innovation process."]]></description>

You can take it home, scribble in the margins, put in on the shelf, lend it to a friend, sell it at a garage sale. But is the same thing true for the ebooks or other digital goods you buy? Retailers and copyright holders argue that you don’t own those purchases, you merely license them. That means your ebook vendor can delete the book from your device without warning or explanation—as Amazon deleted Orwell’s 1984 from the Kindles of surprised readers several years ago. These readers thought they owned their copies of 1984. Until, it turned out, they didn’t. In The End of Ownership, Aaron Perzanowski and Jason Schultz explore how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and make an argument for the benefits of personal property.
"Of course, ebooks, cloud storage, streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience and flexibility. But, Perzanowski and Schultz warn, consumers should be aware of the tradeoffs involving user constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of private property are clear, but few people manage to read their end user agreements. Perzanowski and Schultz argue that introducing aspects of private property and ownership into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and economic benefits. But, most important, it would affirm our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it can also empower us."]]></description>

(1) SJ keeps talking about "average" incomes - presumably these are _mean_ incomes, which are going to be very misleading in winner-take-all industries.  Median would be much better.  (2) This also doesn't speak to the volatility of incomes, which is a huge part of the issue.  (3) I also worry about selection bias by just looking at those who in a given year manage to make enough money in the arts to be classified as working artists...

The problem is that in real life, nearly all the actual cases seem to be over methods and processes that are obvious to anyone working in the industry once the underlying technology makes them possible. We started work on NetScan in 1994, for example, because that was about the time that internal email was getting popular, personal scanners were getting popular, and businesses were looking for ways to avoid having to buy a scanner for every employee. A networked scanner was an obvious solution, and using email as the delivery mechanism was also obvious. So that's what we did. A bunch of other people did the same thing at about the same time because it was obvious. Once network infrastructure is in place, lots of things suddenly become obvious."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["DRM on ebooks is dead. (Or if not dead, it's on death row awaiting a date with the executioner.)
"It doesn't matter whether Macmillan wins the price-fixing lawsuit bought by the Department of Justice. The point is, the big six publishers' Plan B for fighting the emerging Amazon monopsony has failed (insofar as it has been painted as a price-fixing ring, whether or not it was one in fact). This means that they need a Plan C. And the only viable Plan C, for breaking Amazon's death-grip on the consumers, is to break DRM.
"If the major publishers switch to selling ebooks without DRM, then they can enable customers to buy books from a variety of outlets and move away from the walled garden of the Kindle store. They see DRM as a defense against piracy, but piracy is a much less immediate threat than a gigantic multinational with revenue of $48 Billion in 2011 (more than the entire global publishing industry) that has expressed its intention to "disrupt" them, and whose chief executive said recently "even well-meaning gatekeepers slow innovation" (where "innovation" is code-speak for "opportunities for me to turn a profit").
"And so they will deep-six their existing commitment to DRM and use the terms of the DoJ-imposed settlement to wiggle out of the most-favoured-nation terms imposed by Amazon, in order to sell their wares as widely as possible.
"If they don't, they're doomed. And all of us who like to read (or write) fiction get to live in the Amazon company town."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[" if some policy increases consumption of something with zero marginal cost (an idea, an academic paper, a song, an e-book, etc.), a minimum, necessary condition to restrict that policy is that the variety of affected new goods must decrease. So if music piracy increases the number of songs consumed (and the number of songs illegally downloaded in any period of time is currently much higher than worldwide sales during that period), a minimum economic justification for a government crackdown on piracy is that the number of new songs created has decreased (in this case, they have not). Applying The First Law to open access mandates, a minimum economic justification for opposing such mandates is that either open access has no benefits, or that open access will make peer reviewed journals economically infeasible."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The problem with a rights-based liberalism is precisely that it is not and never can be the end of history, that it is never secure or stable, that every liberty claimed through toil and protest, no matter how acclaimed and cherished and generative, is one day away from the firing line when some powerful interest decides that some right or practice is inconvenient.

"It doesn’t even matter if the end of a right, a freedom, a possibility will ultimately hurt that powerful interest. The contemporary businesses who have registered a powerful stake in exceptionally restrictive monopolies over intellectual property have themselves been enormous beneficiaries of a conception of the public domain as a fundamental and irreversible right of a free society. No matter: they would now see it ended. Better to kill the future than live in a present where you can only have two Ferraris in the driveway."]]></description>

The expanding footprint of copyright, an unconstrained arts industry marketplace, and a government unwilling to engage culture as a serious arena for public policy have come together to undermine art, artistry, and cultural heritage--the expressive life of America."

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["a running theme in empirical work on IP: it is very, very difficult to show that patents, copyrights, and other government granted monopolies are somehow good for welfare. ...  I would guess that the welfare benefits of moving from the current regime to the optimal IP regime are more substantial than the welfare benefits of moving from the current trade regime to the optimal one. So why then do economists write a ton about trade rules but so little about ,,, the deleterious effects widespread in innovation policy? ... I really wish economists would restrict the use of the term “intellectual property” to the legal monopolies granted by copyright, patents, and the like, reserving an alternative term – I like “knowledge goods” ... – for the actual creative works themselves. ...  the term “intellectual property” was rare until the 1970s, and was deliberately introduced in order to induce linguistic equivalence between knowledge and physical property."

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Right now there are two ebook versions of my novel The Mall of Cthulhu available.  One is the kindle edition, the other is the version on webscription.net.  Though it's priced higher, I know some folks may want to buy the webscription version because of concerns about Amazon's DRM.  Here's the problem, though-- the webscription.net version is an unauthorized edition.  Nobody connected with that edition has the right to sell an electronic version of my book, and at this point, it's not at all clear that I will ever get paid for what amounts to the theft of my intellectual property.  Nobody's returning my emails, and let's be honest--we're not talking about big money here, so it's not worth anybody's while to involve attorneys or anything."  Therefore, Cooper has made the PDF of the advance reading copy free online, which is certainly one way to undermine the competition!  (I paid for my paper copy and recommend it.)

    <dc:creator>cshalizi</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I am no great friend of patents, but already from the abstract I am suspicious.  With the knapsack problem, everyone understands from the beginning what the goal is, what counts as a solution, and the range of all possible solutions.  Technological discovery is NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL.  I suspect we are back at "assume a can-opener/complete set of markets", which was fine for Arrow and Debreu doing moral philosophy, but not to be taken seriously.  Still: the first tag applies.
