Exceptionally joyful this week. US Copyright Office confirming my registration is entirely valid & I am indeed a joint author of Iron Sky along with those others listed has been a vindication for me to continue to stand up for the rights of myself & others in the face of disparagement & humiliation.

A landmark ruling and a reframed headline:
“OpenAI lost a copyright case in Germany yesterday”
To: “Victory for Content Producers.”
“Judge Elke Schwager “if you want to build something and need components, then you purchase them. Do not use the property of others."

Can't believe that this is happening. The US Court is powerless and Valve's Lawyers have completely wasted - not just my time - but the time of a US Federal Court with a "frivolous defense" that was dead on arrival. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been WASTED including US tax payer dollars!

I wonder if I can just write "Ooooof!" on my next reply brief & leave it as that. ALL of the Judges previous orders related to the question of authorship have to be VOIDED. The first thing the court needed was to determine "choice of law" which I tried to help with by mentioning it in my pleadings!

Valve essentially got a Federal Court Judge to apply Comity and Collateral estoppel - to a "Hollywood Reporter article" by the look of it! :)

It's happening. ;) There is no argument Valve can have against the Finnish Rulings lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

I've won. The Finnish cases had no "subject matter jurisdiction". They are all NULL & VOID. Still some paperwork to file but the US Judge's hands are tied and all his Orders based on those Finnish cases are NULL & VOID. Deus Ex Machina baby!

A judgment from a court that did not have subject-matter jurisdiction is forever a nullity.

If your business cannot prosper without breaking the law, then it is not a business. It is organized crime.
Like those dependent on slavery, child labor, or wage theft, it should go out of business as soon as possible.

OpenAI claims companies must opt-out of having their copyrighted characters & content appear in Sora
Legal experts say studios have grounds to sue:
“They’re setting up this false bargain where they can do this unless you opt out. And if you don’t, it’s your fault. That’s not the way the law works"

I own the © to this video. But according to Valve there is a ruling in Finland that says unemployed 3D animators can't be authors of such videos because it's not possible for animators such as myself to have © in the work they create! Valve lack common sense.

Baylis v Valve (MSJ) . All filing briefs are now in. Valve still haven't grasped there is a "personal criteria" based on Nationality - even if an author is on an airplane flying over multiple counties drawing pictures etc. Copyright arises to them initially based on their own Nationality.

You are missing a far more obvious reason why AIGen can't have copyright. A prompt is a "transitory" (not fixed in the AI gen interface) "method of operation" for a software function.
See Navitaire v Easyjet and Lotus v Borland. Also test yourself in Google Translate. The software works immediately.
