From the current consolidated Google AI Copyright class action lawsuit. Given that the case is likely to affect millions of people, the lack of transparency is ridiculous. Not just this suit either - others like it are the same.

Man: “Based on the revolutionary computanian law of probability this machine will tell us the precise location of the remaining golden tickets.”
Machine: "I won't tell. That would be cheating."

I have no knowledge about the underlying validity of the IP claims, but a full retraction of two papers b/c of unproven allegations of improper software licensing seems like a disproportionate result that is harmful to the advancement of science

I don't get why an academic journal would be so eager to adopt the role of "IP enforcement agent" for this software company

Maybe my perspective is skewed by reading law review articles with (no exaggeration) 600 footnotes, but I’d much rather have all the references. If you don’t want to read them, it’s easy to skip over. It’s not like there’s a shortage of available PDF space.

Journals requesting authors decrease the number of cited papers to meet some arbitrary threshold for a particular article style certainly seems like scholarly misconduct

We're living through one of those moments when millions of people become suddenly and overwhelmingly interested in fair use, one of the subtlest and worst-understood aspects of copyright law. It's not a subject you can master by skimming a Wikipedia article!
