OpenAI scores its biggest legal victory in MDL Litigation. Judge Stein reverses magistrate judge ruling. OpenAI did not waive attorney client privilege re: deletion of Books 1 and 2 datasets years after training. Judge Stein’s opinion is important precedent. Lisa Blatt delivers.
Judge Alsup gives split decision: Anthropic AI training copies were fair use, exceedingly transformative. But Anthropic’s pirated books to build a permanent library are infringing. Trial on damages, including willfulness!
Lots of new AI research on memorization by models. I weigh in on how courts should treat unintentional memorization of content from training datasets. https://t.co/2i9zwl0w2R
Updated my article to respond to the Copyright Office’s endorsement of copyright dilution as market harm under Factor 4 of fair use. It’s not only “uncharted territory,” it’s unconstitutional. Paper: https://t.co/VUd4aVHjyg
If the Copyright Office can issue its report on fair use in pre-publication form, I’ll do the same with my article, “Fair Use and the Origin of AI Training.” Forthcoming in @HoustonLRev 2025. My article shows why Copyright Office is wrong about fair use. https://t.co/VUd4aVGLII

"That's a little phrase they have. I don't know if that's right or not. Who the hell knows , right."
[APPLAUSE.]

Court rejects James Howell’s lawsuit seeking to allow him to excavate landfill that allegedly has the hard drive he mistakenly threw away in 2013 with keys to access his 8,000 bitcoin, now worth $765 million. Tragic.

Wall Street Journal ran a story about this group today! “Lunce is one of about 23,000 members in the “Irresponsibly Long $MSTR” group on X.” Are we a cult LOL?
