Just got a notification from Anki host site that they had a copyright infringement complaint against the decks I uploaded over five years ago. Without going into details, I guess that iKnow (formally Cerego) did not renew their creative common license. This creates quite a few issues since many decks have been created based on their content given its high quality. While I argue that existing content is not affected by changing in licensing (only new content has to adhere), I am not the one that hosts the Anki server and has to deal with any and all of the headaches that come about from a litigious corporation that happen to exists in the same country.

Anyway, I posted my response to Anki but I get the feeling that my decks will be pulled permanently since they're created on data I get from the internet.

To be honest, when we first found out about iKnow six years ago most of us were skeptical. This was high quality material being offered for free. Most of us on the board verified about the free use via CC license before posting links to material. I understand their desire to not renew the CC license and even understand their regret to offering it in the first place. However, that they want to remove all material made due to that original license is pretty shady. I doubt they have any legal leg to stand on, but it not something the guy that offers Anki services should have to deal with.

So, if the links to the relevant Anki decks get pulled (specifically common core 2k/6k) you'll know why.

The Core10k (2k + 6k + 10k) deck is gone, The others will follow. If you want them, get them now.

I don't use flashcards or any software but on principle I want to encourage you to see this through.

I haven't used Anki in forever, and I've never used these decks, but can you give me an example of what a card contains?

I'm surmising, based on my previous experience with other decks, that they're trying to copyright definitions of words here. Which is, as you've suggested, dodgy as all fuck.

Is it even possible to revoke a CC license? This sounds like iKnow is breaking copyright law themselves here.

At least someone backed it up, where would the world be without hoarders.

Words, their translation, an example sentence, spoken audio, and a picture, though the picture might be licensed by someone else, if at all (I never used them).

 No.1862

>>1861
Someone claiming to be the head of product at iKnow claims that the API docs, not the content itself, was under CC, and that they were just turning a blind eye to the issue for some time.
