The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow him to fire a top official at the Library of Congress, despite a lower court ruling that found the official is part the legislative branch and doesn’t report to the White House.

Tech firms torrented millions of pirated books to train their AI models. Now authors are fighting back.

My story on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“The robots.txt protocol…[isn’t] effective in the context of bots building AI training datasets. Respondents reported that robots.txt is being ignored by many (although not necessarily all) AI scraping bots. This was widely viewed as breaking the norms of the internet, & not playing fair online.”

Regarding the Kadrey v. Meta decision, our CEO @keithkup.bsky.social asks, “Did Meta just win the battle, but lose the war?” Find out why he asks this question by reading his new blog here! copyrightalliance.org/kadrey-v-met...

In a powerful new blog by our VP of Legal Policy, Rachel Kim, she writes about numerous countries—from Canada and India to the U.S. and UK, and well beyond—that stand united against #AI theft and #copyright exceptions. Read Rachel’s post here! copyrightalliance.org/outrage-agai...

A master class from @ednewtonrex.bsky.social on the importance of requiring that AI co’s secure the consent of creators prior to using their works to train their AI models. In short, GenAI output competes with the underlying works. That’s unfair if the use isn’t licensed.

“Grimmelmann believes that Bibas’ judgment suggests that much of the case law that GenAI companies are citing to argue fair use is ‘irrelevant.’”

Yes, but it’s not just the judgment but common sense & sound legal reasoning. GenAI generates output that competes with inputs. That’s NOT fair use.

How will the courts handle fair use decisions in pending #AI infringement cases? Our CEO @keithkup.bsky.social takes a look at several instances where a court has already issued an order or opinion to get an idea of what might unfold in the future! copyrightalliance.org/ai-copyright...
