#intellectual-property — Public Fediverse posts

The cabinet has approved a revision bill of the copyright act that will allow artists and record companies to receive royalties on songs that are played in commercial facilities as background music. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/15/japan/society/music-rights/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #society #music #copyright #jasrac #copyrights #culturalaffairsagency #intellectualproperty

Ars Technica: Sony’s failed war against Internet piracy may doom other copyright lawsuits. “Sony and other major record labels recently suffered a thorough defeat at the Supreme Court in their attempt to make Internet service providers pay huge financial penalties for their customers’ copyright infringement. Sony’s loss is certain to have wide-ranging effects on copyright lawsuits, […]

The Register: Hollywood A-listers back proposed standard that would pay them when AI uses their likeness or work. “The newly formed public benefit non-profit is extending the Really Simple Licensing (RSL) spec developed by the RSL Internet Collective with the draft RSL Media Human Consent Standard (RSL-MEDIA) 1.0, which aims to cover creative works as well as people’s names, likenesses, voices, […]

Florida Trib: The rise and fall of an AI-driven ‘local news outlet’ in South Florida. “The search to find out who was behind the mysterious South Florida Standard, which The Florida Trib undertook in partnership with the media and tech podcast Question Everything, also shows how easy it is for the real people behind these digital doppelgangers to remain in the shadows – evidence of the […]

TorrentFreak: Publishers Seek $19.5 Million and Domain Takedown Order Against Anna’s Archive. “A group of high-profile publishing companies is seeking a $19.5 million default judgment against shadow library Anna’s Archive. The proposed order comes with an injunction that would compel more than twenty named international domain registries, hosts, and service providers, including Cloudflare and […]

University of Cambridge: Copyright research and the Liberation collection (1944-1946). “It will include copyright research and clearance allowing for the publication of a selection of digitised books from the Chadwyck-Healey Liberation collection (1944-1946) on Cambridge Digital Library. As part of the project, we will hold a series of meetings to discuss the challenges and opportunities raised […]

Associated Press: Mark Zuckerberg ‘personally authorized’ Meta’s copyright infringement, publishers allege. “Five publishing houses and author Scott Turow sued Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday, alleging the company illegally used millions of copyrighted works to train its AI language system Llama.”

Yes, this is theft.

The good news (for artists) is that the liability can’t be washed away by running it through a software tool (a separate issue), and the artist can sue the person who published this.

Don’t be the person that publishes another’s work without authorization, not only because it’s a violation of the rights of the artist, and a breach of law, but because it’s wrong.

Music Business Worldwide: YouTube creators hit by music copyright claims can now replace tracks with AI – at the touch of a button . “YouTube is now letting creators generate AI-produced instrumental tracks to replace copyrighted audio in their videos — positioning the tool as a way to resolve Content ID claims without removing content from the platform.”

A muchos les encanta desviar el foco de atención tratando de comparar el proceso de inspiración humana con el accionar delictivo de un puñado de empresarios inescrupulosos.

Recuerden siempre volver al punto clave: violación masiva a la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual y a la Ley de Protección de Datos.

Futurism: Devious New AI Tool “Clones” Software So That the Original Creator Doesn’t Hold a Copyright Over the New Version. “As 404 Media reports, a new tool dubbed Malus.sh — pronounced ‘malice,’ to give a subtle clue where this is headed — uses AI to ‘liberate’ a piece of software from existing copyright licenses, essentially creating a ‘clean room’ clone that technically doesn’t […]

Holy shit, #AI stealing in #Chile is going to be LEGAL.

Corpos will be able to scrap any public data for AI training, without retribution or compensation. Literally the paradise for stealing shit without consent.

If passed, it's going to be the ultimate "fuck you" to intellectual rights.

Anthropic recorded over 16 million interactions with Claude from about 24,000 fake accounts, which are reportedly linked to Chinese companies trying to cheaply copy the model. Google faced more than 100,000 attempts to copy Gemini. OpenAI reports that most distillation attacks they find come from China. This is not an isolated event. It is a repeatable and scalable strategy.

Breaking the terms of service isn't enough to stop people when the reward is closing a years-long gap in AI technology. The House Select Committee on China wants to label 'adversarial distillation' as industrial espionage under the Economic Espionage Act, which makes sense. At the moment, getting caught just means losing an account. That is hardly a real punishment.

The Trump-Xi summit is approaching, and the White House is reportedly considering sanctions. However, Trump has previously traded away export controls for other deals. If that happens again, AI companies may have to protect their intellectual property by themselves.

When laws fail to keep pace with new types of attacks, attackers automatically have the advantage.

If your company is developing anything unique using advanced AI models, your API access logs are now part of your security risks.
