How Copyright Is Being Abused To Censor Albania’s Flamingo Revolution
For the last couple of years, the copyright world has been grappling with the latest generation of AI, as numerous posts on Walled Culture attest. That’s hardly surprising, since AI is currently delivering the greatest challenge to the foundations of copyright since the arrival of the computer, which was discussed at length in Walled Culture...

Warner/Chappell Sinks Lindsay Ellis’ Two-Hour Cruise Video Over A Few Seconds Of Karaoke
Update: About four hours after this article went up, Warner/Chappell backed down and released their ridiculous claim on the video, so it's now back online. Techdirt has been around for almost 30 years now, and the one internet law issue that never seems to change is the bullshit use of copyright to take down speech....

Bricks & Minifigs Really Doesn’t Want You To Know About The BAM Map, Sues To Unmask Whoever Runs It
A few days ago I wrote about the anti-SLAPP motion filed by "Reckless" Ben Schneider against Bricks & Minifigs (BAM Franchising) over the ridiculous RICO suit they filed against him for his efforts to get BAM to pay back the money owed to Bryan Mansell. The original suit was based on the laughable claim that...

OpenAI Accuses Plaintiffs’ Lawyers Of Paying For, Hiding, And Then Laundering Sketchy Key Evidence In AI Copyright Case
A ton of attention was paid recently to some offhand statements from OpenAI and Microsoft employees that surfaced in filings in the NY Times' ongoing case against OpenAI, which has been consolidated into a much larger class action lawsuit. As I argued earlier, that struck me as something of a nothingburger of a story, because...

Copyright Infringement Still Isn’t Theft, Even When A Microsoft Employee Says It Is
You may have seen the headlines about a Microsoft employee calling AI scraping "the largest theft of labor in human history." It made the rounds on social media, with plenty of people insisting it was a slam dunk admission of criminality. I think I saw this gif applied to it multiple times: It certainly doesn't...

The DOJ’s AI Fair Use Brief Is Correct, But From A DOJ That Has No Credibility
I am never asking the monkey's paw for a federal government that defends fair use again. For decades on Techdirt, I've talked about the absolute necessity of strong fair use, and have been disappointed over and over again at how little the federal government has fought for fair use. For decades, the rare times when...

Take-Two’s Leak Burying DMCA Attempts Snared GameStop & Gaming Journalist That Did Nothing Wrong
I have mostly stayed away from the whole saga surrounding the drip-drip leaks of Grand Theft Auto 6 content prior to the big reveal on Netflix because, frankly, I am quite wary of giving companies the kind of guerilla marketing wins that sometimes look like this sort of thing. That being said, I really don't...

Judge Rejects Google’s Attempt To DMCA Its Way Out Of Being Scraped
Back in December we called out Google for filing a DMCA 1201 lawsuit over companies scraping Google's results. Almost everything about the lawsuit seemed problematic, not the least of which is that Google's entire business was built on scraping the web. To sue another company for scraping Google just felt... obnoxious. And now a judge...

Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 04-16-26
Today marks the 1957th anniversary of the death-by-suicide of the short-reigning Roman Emperor, Otho. I note this because my longest NLJ article, clocking it at more than 18,000 words, is about Otho. Fortunately, I also published some shorter Otho reading. But Otho aside, it is time for today's edition of Pook-Emu Bee links from around...

AI and the corporate capture of knowledge
"A society cannot meaningfully debate policy, science or justice if information is locked away behind paywalls or controlled by proprietary algorithms. If we allow AI companies to profit from mass appropriation while claiming immunity, we are choosing a future in which access to knowledge is governed by corporate power rather than democratic values." Bruce Schneier...
