IP emerged as a way to allocate resources in an analogue age in which it was impractical to extract abstract “intellectual property” from its [[substrate]]. One could therefore control IP by controlling replication of the substrate. it wasn’t really a “data” problem. | IP emerged as a way to allocate resources in an analogue age in which it was impractical to extract abstract “intellectual property” from its [[substrate]].

The information revolution (which started with the [[Jacquard loom]]) has changed all that. IP has long struggled with sampling, remixes, digital collaboration and even packet switching<ref>See {{author|Lawrence Lessing}}’s {{br|Code: Version 2.0}}.</ref> (the internet, on several levels, is one collossal transgression/falsification of the idea of [[copyright]]). The emergence of AI assistance in content generation is a further degeneration of the IP paradigm. It’s irretrievably broken. | The information revolution (which started with the [[Jacquard loom]]) has changed all that.

In a digital universe, where you can bifurcate information from [[substrate]], the idea of intellectual property in [[data]] is little more than unjustified state-sponsored monopoly enablement. The [[Rolling Stones]] wrote [[Satisfaction]] in 15, minutes Keith Richards literally while asleep. What justification is there for their exclusive rights to that arrangement of data in (almost) perpetuity? | In a digital universe, where you can bifurcate information from [[substrate]], the idea of intellectual property in [[data]] is little more than unjustified state-sponsored monopoly enablement.

Ask not how AI fits into the intellectual property rules, therefore, but how we should reimagine the legal framework for the commercial exploitation of data. | Ask not how AI fits into the intellectual property rules, therefore, but how we should reimagine the legal framework for the commercial exploitation of data. | ||
