👏A win for fair use.

Executive Director @bc_butler breaks down President Trump’s new AI Legislative Framework, a massive win for fair use and a major step in protecting innovation.

Dive into the thread below👇

[Brandon Butler @bc_butler]

The President's AI Legislative Framework, released this AM, gets fair use right on substance and process. Training is fair use, and Congress should leave fair use issues to the courts. TRAIN Act, CLEAR Act, and mislabeled TRUMP AMERICA AI Act are all at odds with White House policy.

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

Federal courts have recognized AI training as a transformative fair use. Requiring extensive data licensing risks creating high barriers to entry, which could leave smaller developers and researchers behind.

@EFF explains why maintaining fair use as new technology emerges is key to competitive tech innovation: https://t.co/QKhSZy7ivY

🚨 ICYMI: Re:Create submitted a letter to the CA Senate Committee on Privacy, Digital Technologies, and Consumer Protection outlining major concerns over CA AB 412.

🎩 A Hat Trick for Balanced Copyright: Did you see Colbert’s appearance on "Only in Monroe"? Paramount hit creators with DMCA takedowns for sharing it, but backed down after censorship backlash.

To end his late-night show, Stephen Colbert signed off with a powerful fair-use finale, asserting the fundamental right to parody and critique mainstream culture.💥

His team spliced together clips of past & present late night hosts to create a transformative message. This kind of mashup is only possible because of fair use!

Next up: Using the Peanuts music without permission? It didn't cost CBS millions. Why? Fair use again! 🎸

Using copyrighted material for parody, commentary, or critique is vital to the media that gives us a good laugh. Cheers to protecting culture and to Colbert’s great run!

Read our opposition letter from last June: https://t.co/BwUIJ2iC54

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

✉️ Ahead of the California Senate Committee on Privacy, Digital Technologies, and Consumer Protection hearing of CA AB 412 on June 8, Re:Create submitted a follow up letter to Chairman Cabaldon opposing the bill. The letter expresses that compliance with the bill's disclosure requirements is impossible, as the current federal copyright system offers no feasible way for AI developers to identify registered works and their owners within massive training datasets. https://t.co/XRH7qjHd9I

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

Fair use did not start with AI. For centuries, it has been relied on by news outlets and journalists. It’s essential for the industry to report, comment, critique and more. Explore some use cases in our fair use in journalism infographic: https://t.co/MGM0DB9FXs

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

Despite recent headlines, AI training isn’t theft (nor is quoting a press release or using a social media clip), it’s fair use. Innovation and reporting both rely on the exact same backbone: the freedom to transform copyrighted information

[Brandon Butler @bc_butler]

I know @cnn relies on fair use every day, and that (while its international news-gathering apparatus is unparalleled) it also re-reports news that is first broken elsewhere, every day. So they know there's no such thing as "theft" of factual information.

💡❌California’s AB412 would create an impossible maze of copyright reporting requirements, imposing an innovation fine on start-ups and small businesses.

The Authors Alliance has a nice blog post up today from AI Legal Fellow Justin Bonfiglio addressing memorization in AI training. I’ve written and spoken about this several times, and I couldn’t agree more with Justin’s take. https://t.co/hXQpXEdI8L

[Re:Create Coalition @recreateco]

The Block BEARD Act is a recycled attempt to revive failed site-blocking policies that would turn the open web into a playground for censorship and surveillance. Re:Create continues to urge Congress to reject the bill as it threatens free speech, enables censorship, and undermines the principles of a free and open internet. https://t.co/8Jv9D3bChF
