Standards organisations, which make and own copyright to proprietary texts which will be necessary to understand and enforce laws such as the EU's AI Act, which mandate them and refer to them directly, are making it even harder to access standards by instituting pretty nasty Adobe DRM. Many of these document are considered part of EU law for the purposes of preliminary references. See this from the BSI now. #standards #AIAct
@mikarv any text with the force of law should be accessible to all or should lose its capacity to bind. How can I comply with a law I can’t afford to read?
