| schestowitz[TR2] | As projected here back in October, there is now a class action lawsuit, albeit in its earliest stages, against Microsoft over its blatant license violation through its use of the M$ GitHub Copilot tool. The software project, Copilot, strips copyright licensing and attribution from existing copyrighted code on an unprecedented scale. The class action lawsuit insists that machine learning algorithms, often marketed as "Artificial | Feb 10 04:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Intelligence", are not exempt from copyright law nor are the wielders of such tools. | Feb 10 04:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The $9 billion in damages is arrived at through scale. When M$ Copilot rips code without attribution and strips the copyright license from it, it violates the DMCA three times. So if olny 1% of its 1.2M users receive such output, the licenses were breached 12k times with translates to 36k DMCA violations, at a very low-ball estimate. | Feb 10 04:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "If each user receives just one Output that violates Section 1202 throughout their time using Copilot (up to fifteen months for the earliest adopters), then GitHub and OpenAI have violated the DMCA 3,600,000 times. At minimum statutory damages of $2500 per violation, that translates to $9,000,000,000," the litigants stated. | Feb 10 04:53 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Besides open-source licenses and DMCA (§ 1202, which forbids the removal of copyright-management information), the lawsuit alleges violation of GitHub's terms of service and privacy policies, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other laws." | Feb 10 04:53 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it also goes years back, YEARS | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with several incidents of each | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | many victims apparently | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:19] <schestowitz> my wife is reading the police report | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:20] <Source> What police report?[18:20] | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <Source> The one I sent you the affidavit? | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:23] <Source> Sorry lost you there | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:24] <schestowitz> yes | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:24] <schestowitz> I got: | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:24] <schestowitz> [18:20] <Source> The one I sent you the affidavit? | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:24] <schestowitz> [18:23] <Source> Sorry lost you there | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:25] <schestowitz> maybe there's some software to tell the phone not to turn off network when idle | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:25] <schestowitz> some media players are capable of doing so | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:25] <Source> Yeah I wish there was like caffeine for iPhone | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:26] <Source> I use that on my laptop and it's helpful. | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:26] <schestowitz> I don't use mobile | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:26] <schestowitz> but I heard of "caffeine" | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:28] <Source> So that document is more of a petition to the courts[18:28] <schestowitz> it's quite strong | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:28] <Source> To establish probable cause and acquire a warrant [18:28] <schestowitz> if past victims add to it | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:28] <Source> Caffeine is just a Mac app that keeps your laptop from going to sleep[18:28] <schestowitz> then the warrant is stronger, I guess | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> Well they're both legal documents from a US court systems perspective | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> As long as you're using the word allegations are fine | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> Because the police wrote this document | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> Basically the police arrested him and wrote a report which we don't have | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> And it looks like a couple of days later they went to the court because Alex had run away | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> And they went to the court and said hey we have probable cause to arrest this guy can you issue a warrant[18:29] <schestowitz> it would be good to have hard material for that | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:29] <Source> My friend from France explained to me that the police don't need probable cause in Europe[18:30] <Source> I'm not sure what it's like in the UK | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:30] <Source> But he said that they can just like tell you to empty your pockets for no reason | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:30] <schestowitz> I'm not sure either | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:30] <schestowitz> IANAL | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:30] <Source> yeah so this document is basically just a bunch of paperwork saying that that you have a right to arrest and search Alex's person [18:31] <Source> And that he's going to have to go to court docket to see if the prosecutor wants to it [18:31] <Source> It's sort of like a notification that he needs to go to court to deal with this[18:32] <Source> because in the US we have all these rights around search and sei | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | zure because of the constitution there's more paperwork basically[18:33] <Source> In france they can arrest you and question you without probable cause[18:33] <Source> Not that that doesn't happen that the US. Police make up probable cause all the time[18:33] <Source> Which is what Black Lives Matter is complaining about | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:34] <schestowitz> I see... | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:34] <schestowitz> thanks for cluing me up | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:34] <schestowitz> outside my knowledgebase so to speak | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:34] <Source> Yeah so it's a court document. It has more weight than a police report | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:35] <Source> It means that a officer didn't decide that there was probable cause. It means that the court agreed on the probable cause and that's why he was able to get arrested even though he wasn't in the act of a crime[18:37] <schestowitz> I see | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:38] <Source> There will be another police report about the actual arrest but i haven't gotten it yet[18:39] <Source> Obviously you should fact check what I said. These are Travis County Court proceedings. [18:41] <schestowitz> thanks | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:41] <schestowitz> I will cover this slowly | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:41] <schestowitz> once per week | Feb 10 04:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | [18:41] <schestowitz> so there's time to verify and relate to current news beats | Feb 10 04:57 |
