Question: Since the WHO ended the global emergency status for COVID-19 on May 5th, does anyone know of any journals that have reimposed paywalls? Thanks!

Ah, finally, clarity from the S.Ct. on the 1st Amd & trademark
"When a mark is used as a mark (except, potentially, in rare situations [HAVE FUN GUESSING WHICH ONES?]), the likelihood-of-confusion inquiry does enough work to account for the interest in free expression"

Check out the latest in our series on legal issues in open access publishing --
"Read your open access publishing agreements, or: how you might accidentally give Elsevier or Wiley the exclusive right to profit from your OA article"

The SG brief on #copyright preemption of #Ks ( v. ) is out. It recommends denying the cert petition. The conclusion is reasonable. It might not be the ideal vehicle (it's a close call IMO). But the reasoning is "interesting." 🧵 1/6

Unless we think that university leadership is really short sighted (ok, I admit I do sometimes think that), I don't see why it would be a move against interest to support long-term efforts to improve access to publishing. Everyone is better off with more robust participation

And, I'd expect university leaders to understand this better than most. Basically their entire research enterprise is structured around the ongoing benevolence of govts and foundations to give $ for work that often has mainly long-term societal benefits as the return
Also, a subtweet: I struggle to understand why efforts to support better OA publishing in this way are viewed as "unsustainable." People and organizations give money away all the time to support their long-term mission and goals, even when they don't see short-term benefits.

Also, with apologies to the lawyers who write them, I find it odd that patents figure so prominently in the data set. IMO they are possibly the worst example of english language text I can think of; they're practically written in another language.

Reading the Washington Post article about the Google C4 data set contents. Really cool that @PLOS figures as the #5 largest source of content.

As the Copyright Office begins its listening sessions today on Generative AI, think it's important to think about all artists and creators, including those who use and benefit from these tools:

Copyright Office taking some heat for how difficult it is to register websites.
I agree -- registration should be low cost (maybe free?) and easy

To me, the most thought provoking comment so far came from Chris Callison-Burch, suggesting that we may be approaching AI "escape velocity" where AI is trained on data sets of AI generated content. What (c) issues then?

I'm waiting for someone to say "I'm on this panel, but nope, never heard of the Office's AI guidance"

Lots of comments about fair use that seem to read the holdings in AG v Google, iParadigms, etc. very very narrowly.

The suggestion that tools like ChatGPT are some sort of massive collage machine is a pretty bad analogy.
Glad this is getting pushback. providing some good illustrations
