Without effective copyright protections, there is a grave risk that these organizations will no longer be able to produce the high-quality codes and standards that the public and lawmakers have come to rely on.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using my artwork without permission ... What should I do ... Since the other party is so large, I'm honestly at a loss.

"There's a tension in the design of the book that I was exploring, between making it feel super contemporary and colorful, and leaning into more traditional aesthetics of archives and historical content. I wanted to honor both," says Michele. "Copyright law can also be kind of intimidating, so I wanted to use the design of the book to make the content more approachable and engaging."

ByteDance has pledged to tighten controls around its AI video generator, Seedance, after facing legal threats from Disney and growing criticism from other Hollywood studios over alleged copyright violations. The latest iteration of the tool, Seedance 2.0, has seen a surge of hyper-realistic AI-generated clips circulating on social media, some appearing to feature characters from major film franchises.

In a new viral AI video, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise pummel each other on a rooftop in a cinematic action sequence. It's not a trailer for a new blockbuster, and it's not actually Pitt and Cruise, though it looks a lot like them. The video is so realistic, in fact, that the clearest sign it's made with AI is the dialogue.

The Melania Trump documentary includes a portion of Jonny Greenwood's Oscar-nominated score to the Paul Thomas Anderson film Phantom Thread. In a new statement released Monday, Greenwood said that while he does own the copyright to the score, Universal Pictures "failed to consult [him] on this third-party use which is a breach of his composer agreement." "As a result Jonny and Paul Thomas Anderson have asked for it to be removed from the documentary," the statement adds.

"A lot of these AI businesses are looking for readily available, structured databases of content," Robert Hahn, head of business affairs and licensing for The Guardian, told . "The Internet Archive's API would have been an obvious place to plug their own machines into and suck out the IP."

Google has just started rolling out access to its new "experimental research prototype" Project Genie, an AI tool powered by Genie 3 and Gemini that allows users to create interactive, explorable worlds with a simple text prompt. Unsurprisingly, someone has immediately used it to generate a bunch of playable Nintendo knock-offs, including a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild clone, complete with a usable paraglider.

On the way home, I screenshot and crop a news article and share it to one of my WhatsApp groups. In another group, a family member has posted an AI-generated video (forwarded many times) of Donald Trump getting his head shaved by Xi Jinping while Joe Biden laughs in the background. I watch the mindless slop on my phone as I walk along the main road, instinctively gripping my phone a little tighter as I do so.

Spotify and the Big 3 record labels - Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and Warner Music Group - have filed a lawsuit against Anna's Archive, alleging the pirate platform scraped 86 million music files, and claiming an eye-popping $13 trillion in damages. Anna's Archive, formerly known as the Pirate Library Mirror, is accused of "brazen theft of millions of files containing nearly all of the world's commercial sound recordings," according to the full complaint.

The campaign argues that in the race for dominance in the new GenAI technology, some of the world's wealthiest tech companies, along with private equity-backed ventures, have engaged in a "massive rip-off" of creative content without authorization or compensation. According to the campaign, this practice "imperils U.S. jobs, economic growth and global 'soft power' supported by the U.S. creative industries." The campaign warns that this widespread infringement erodes the foundation of the U.S. entertainment industry and disincentivizes the creation of new works.
