A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I believe this should be allowed, honestly. For, it's dangerous to disallow. I mean, there are dictatorships training their AIs, and they won't care about copyrights. That's gonna be an advantage for them, and the west should feed the same information.
We don't need to allow Steven King, but scientific and engineering articles, sure.
I agree, but even further: those articles should be open to begin with :)
Yes, but the problem is that the authors of closed articles did sign a copyright transfer agreement (because they basically had no other option). Government cannot and should not override it against the will of the business companies. And this extends to the public.
For these closed articles it's the authors' burden to release the draft. That act is almost always permitted by the signed agreement.
