Can't believe that this is happening. The US Court is powerless and Valve's Lawyers have completely wasted - not just my time - but the time of a US Federal Court with a "frivolous defense" that was dead on arrival. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been WASTED including US tax payer dollars!

It's been a MASSIVE waste of court resources and Valve's lawyers may get launched to the Dark Side of the Moon themselves by the Judge's boot!
Go easy on them Judge but teach them a lesson. I'm actually a forgiving kind of chap in my own way. 🙂

I wonder if I can just write "Ooooof!" on my next reply brief & leave it as that. ALL of the Judges previous orders related to the question of authorship have to be VOIDED. The first thing the court needed was to determine "choice of law" which I tried to help with by mentioning it in my pleadings!

Indeed. Hope, Faith and of course Charity, and all that. ;)

It's happening. ;) There is no argument Valve can have against the Finnish Rulings lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

I've won. The Finnish cases had no "subject matter jurisdiction". They are all NULL & VOID. Still some paperwork to file but the US Judge's hands are tied and all his Orders based on those Finnish cases are NULL & VOID. Deus Ex Machina baby!

A judgment from a court that did not have subject-matter jurisdiction is forever a nullity.

Another filing in Baylis v Valve. It really is getting farcical.

Maybe ask animators? Me for instance? I can't use AI Gen to "enhance" my work. The resulting "images that go together to give the illusion of movement" couldn't be protected by © and have no actual licensing value. AIGen is the genuinely the stupidest invention for a problem that never existed.

TDM is NOT Machine Learning. It's a red herring argument to conflate the two as if article 4 of DSM©Drctve has an exception for Machine Learning.
TDM = Research. Machine Learning = replacing humans with automation. There is no © exception for replacing humans. There's no © in Outputs either.

I think you are completely ignorant of the actual case at issue and you are unlikely to have even read it properly.
A robot scanning a book and saving a copy of that book to it's hard drive is NOT fair use and you are just a moron. Seriously. You are a moron. Sci fi robots are human actors.

Judge Alsup is wrong though because he equates a "robot reading a book" with a child reading a book. A robot cannot actually gain knowledge of what it is reading and "has no human rights" such as "free speech" which is what "fair use" is derived from.

So Guadamuz lied when he conflated TDM with AI Training. They are two separate things. There are no copyright exceptions for AI Training and never have been because it's an "author replacement tech" and cannot have any © exception because of that. It's not justified by purpose. (Berne Article 10)

"Opt out" is a Myth started by © minimalist Andres Guadamuz who gave evidence to UK House of Lords in consultations about AIgen. Guadamuz just lied to H. o. Lords that "opt-out" was a thing in EU law related to TDM - but that's NOT AI training. AIgen advocates jump on those lies & a myth was born.
