β€˜Your prompts, Spotify’s personalized picks’ - what could possibly go wrong for artists? The IPKat blog reports on copyright, patent, trade mark, info-tech and confidentiality issues from a mainly UK and European perspective.

I've been on a little bit of an AI IP licensing spree for the IPKat lately: I have *a lot* of thoughts...

[Guest post] What is the value of a pirated book copied to train LLMs? Apparently only USD$ 3,000 The IPKat blog reports on copyright, patent, trade mark, info-tech and confidentiality issues from a mainly UK and European perspective.

Some feels about the Anthropic settlement. Spoiler: this is a joke and authors and human creativity deserves more than this. Also how is future competition and authorial livelihood irrelevant. Some far nicer words here: ipkitten.blogspot.com/2025/09/gues...

Marking IP essays and the answer for nearly all problems, according to most students, is codification? Am I missing something here? Since when did the common law go out of fashion? πŸ˜†

ChatGPT can't decide whether its Ghibli-style images violate copyright or not OpenAI's 4o controversy: Ghibli-style image generation raises questions about copyright policy differences in free versus paid ChatGPT services.

The paid version of ChatGPT will happily make Studio Ghibli images. The free version tells you it can't because it's copyrighted. Doesn't seem great! www.businessinsider.com/openai-studi...

I think there needs to be more nuance though. Again we're artists are used to front policy change while publishers continue to licence authorial works to #AI companies. There needs to be a distinction of #copyright holders ie. authors vs those holding exploitation rights.

Let's not also forget those with exploitation rights (producers and publishers) that do not pay authors properly and licence access to datasets and for TDM and training #AI models, securing their own future income streams.

Amazing. Though nothing new in #copyright land. Amending boundaries to only foster new online business models - now it is #AI. Where is the author, the artist, the performer in these discussions? Clearly, absent. #UKpolitics

Inaccurate AI output is damaging news brands, major media corporations claim In a recent complaint against AI firm Cohere, plaintiffs including Forbes, Guardian News and Politico join the growing list of media companies accusing AI developers of damaging their news brands.

Publishers suing AI startup for ©️ and TM infringement?? Reputational harm stemming from being linked as fictional articles. Now only if ©️ authors could rely on [artistic] reputational harm for being used for training AI models. How the pendulum swings.

Just a wee excited this arrived today! Trying to catch up on views outside of trad legal and economic theory on AI. We need a complete picture for any future regulation.

Zara has a new collab with 'stylenotcom' - Could this be a nuanced response to fast fashion, copying and utility items? Possibly. But the tagline 'I always end up at Zara' has weight in the shadow of fashion week.

Out on the sweeping plains west of Broken Hill, some curious teenager emus came all the way from the horizon right over to see what I was doing.
The wildflowers include darling peas, swainson-peas and native daisies.
