AI guzzled millions of books without permission. Authors are fighting back. Authors are appealing for help from Congress and the courts after Meta and Anthropic used millions of books to create AI technology, without seeking consent.

Tech firms torrented millions of pirated books to train their AI models. Now authors are fighting back.

AI Scraping Bots Are Breaking Open Libraries, Archives, and Museums "This is a moment where that community feels collectively under threat and isn't sure what the process is for solving the problem.”

“The robots.txt protocol…[isn’t] effective in the context of bots building AI training datasets. Respondents reported that robots.txt is being ignored by many (although not necessarily all) AI scraping bots. This was widely viewed as breaking the norms of the internet, & not playing fair online.”

Kadrey v. Meta Decision: Did Meta Just Win the Battle, But Lose the War? Since Judge Chhabria of the Northern District of California issued his decision in the Kadrey v. Meta case on Wednesday, June 25, there have been a lot of articles about how Meta “won the case.”

In a powerful new blog by our VP of Legal Policy, Rachel Kim, she writes about numerous countries—from Canada and India to the U.S. and UK, and well beyond—that stand united against #AI theft and #copyright exceptions. Read Rachel’s post here! copyrightalliance.org/outrage-agai...

How AI models steal creative work — and what to do about it Generative AI is built on three key resources: people, compute and data. While companies invest heavily in the first two, they often use unlicensed creative work as training data without permission or...

A master class from @ednewtonrex.bsky.social on the importance of requiring that AI co’s secure the consent of creators prior to using their works to train their AI models. In short, GenAI output competes with the underlying works. That’s unfair if the use isn’t licensed.
