- Rep. Joe Morelle denounced the distance from President Trump by Shira Perlmother as an unprecedented power grave, which indicates that he was followed by a report in which it was found that AI companies sometimes violate the copyright laws. Large AI companies such as Openaai, which Elon Musk fought, are pending in their model training with ongoing legal disputes due to alleged non -authorized use of copyrighted materials.
A top democrat has referred to the recent fire the director of the US copyright, Shira Perlmutter, “a brazen, unprecedented power grave”.
In a press release, Rep. Joe Morelle said: “Donald Trump’s termination of the copyright, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented grave of power without a legal basis. It is certainly no coincidence that he is less than a day after the stamp of Elon-Musk efforts to make the efforts of rubber-musk efforts, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train, to train to train, so To train work.
“Register Perlmother is a patriot, and the Copyright office has driven its term in the 21st century by modernizing its operations and determining global standards for the interface of AI and intellectual property,” he said in the explanation and added that the action against the article in the congress and the risks into one Billion dollar industry transformed into chaos into chaos into chaos.
In the explanation, Morelle pointed out a newly published draft from the US copyright – part three of a wider series – to examine the interface of intellectual property and AI.
The document warns that AI companies should not assume that “fair use” automatically covers their training for copyrighted materials. However, it indicates that academic research and critical examination are permitted.
The report did not require state intervention, but it was found that the commercial use of copyrighted work – in particular through unauthorized access – can exceed fair use limits.
The report states that “the commercial use of huge troven copyright -protected work to produce expressive content that compete in existing markets compete with them, especially if this is achieved through illegal access, beyond the established limits beyond fair use.”
Pearl mother has been in the role since October 2020 during the first Trump administration and advised the congress on the copyright directive.
In a post on Facebook over the weekend the American Federation of Musicians Union said The shooting of pearl mother “will harm the entire copyright community”.
Representatives of the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Assets.
Copyright questions from the AI company
Copyright issues have long been a thorn in the side of the leading AI companies, including Openai. The company is currently fighting against several lawsuits against copyright infringement during the training of AI models.
In December 2023, The New York Times sues Openai and MicrosoftThe company accusation of training chatt in their articles without permission and saying that the models reproduce large parts of their content.
At the beginning of this year, Getty Image’s lawsuit against stability -KI -the company behind the stable diffusion -was submitted by over 12 million protected photographs and metadata to build up their KI -Image generation tools.
In recent times, several technology companies and industry leaders have prompted Trump’s administration to consider to solve intellectual property restrictions on training data.
In his latest “AI campaign plan”, Openai asked the US government to codage the protection of “fair use” for AI development, and called for a copyright strategy that protects the ability of the American AI models to learn from copyright -protected material.
“America has so many Kei -startups, attracts so many investments and has made so many research breaks, especially because the apprenticeship for fair use promotes AI development,” wrote Openai.
Musk, who heads the AI company behind Grok, has also supported a relaxed approach to intellectual property.
In a post on X last month, Musk threw his weight behind a statement by Jack Dorsey, the co -founder of Twitter (Now x), it says: “Delete the entire IP law.” In an answer, Musk said: “I agree.”
