ECP NetHappenings No Bailout for Google

Google made $100 billion last quarter, but wants the US government to bail it out for stealing copyrighted content to train its AI.

Chamber of Progress asks for blank check for big tech
Google-backed Chamber of Progress wants Al training declared “fair use.
That move would devalue publishers’ content, erode licensing opportunities, and aive tech platforms a free pass or using creative works without consent.

A Google-backed shop (Chamber of Progress) has put into overdrive, or desperation, its push for a carve-out to allow its clients to break copyright law. Nice to see DCN’s own Chris Pedigo take this on directly for the absurdity it represents. And he explains fair use. 1/2
The Copyright Office report yesterday affirms what our members – and the broader creative community – have long contended: that the wholesale ingestion of copyrighted works to train gen AI models without consent or compensation is NOT fair use under current law. https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intelligence-Part-3-Generative-AI-Training-Report-Pre-Publication-Version.pdf

Now that they have fired the Congressional Librarian, expect The Copyright Office to be infiltrated in defiance of this soon.

President Trump has fired the head of the U.S. Copyright Office, Shira Perlmutter.

Every major gen-AI model trained on unlicensed data now sits under clear copyright liability.
