[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T193728: Solve legal uncertainty of Wikidata
Alsee added a comment. There is a very serious error pervading this discussion. Everyone is working on the presumption that Wikidata is importing pure facts. This is false. Wikidata often imports creative works of authorship. I went to Wikidata and clicked random item, it took me a matter of seconds to find an example of Wikidata copying creative work licensed under CC-BY-SA, specifically from English Wikipedia. An item popped up for a geographical feature, listing coordinates. When I checked it on a map, the contributor selected an arbitrary and highly unusual coordinate to represent the geographical feature. In particular, the coordinates consisted of 16 digits. Approximately 6 digits of that information was factual (within the geographical feature), and approximately 10 of the 16 digits were a creative work of authorship of the contributor. I could very easily make a series of edits, adding valid coordinates to articles, and embed a watermark in my creative selection of precise location. A bot would soon come by and import my work into Wikidata. I could then prove my creative authorship in court by explaining how to read the watermark. The watermark spread across those contributions could contain the hidden text "Copyright by al...@wikipedia.org licensed under Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ". Furthermore many text fields contain creative work. (In case anyone has difficulty with the concept of authorship of a string of digits, or of watermarks.) A more accurate question for the lawyers is this: Can you comment on the practice of bulk extraction from Wikipedia articles, of factual information AS WELL AS individually-short works of creative authorship licensed under CC-BY-SA , and publishing it in Wikidata under a claim of CC-0? In addition, I'd like to specifically ask: Could the assertion of CC-0 constitute Slander_of_title? Slander of title might be more serious than the direct concerns of license infringement.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T193728EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: AlseeCc: Alsee, Aklapper, Huji, ArthurPSmith, SimonPoole, Scott_WorldUnivAndSch, Micru, lisong, Lofhi, Nemo_bis, TomT0m, jrbs, EgonWillighagen, sarojdhakal, Agabi10, NMaia, Simon_Villeneuve, Jarekt, Rspeer, OhKayeSierra, AndrewSu, Mateusz_Konieczny, Maxlath, Glrx, Realworldobject, Ltrlg, Papapep, Tgr, Ayack, Gnom1, MichaelMaggs, MisterSynergy, Pasleim, Cirdan, 0x010C, Sylvain_WMFr, Denny, Ivanhercaz, Pintoch, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Psychoslave, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, ZhouZ, Mpaulson, Wikidata-bugs, aude, jayvdb, Slaporte, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
