Microsoft's Copilot rarely reproduces even full sentences from news articles and books, let alone substantive chunks that could substitute for the original, the company says in new legal filings as it fights copyright claims from publishers including The New York Times and book authors. As part of the lawsuit's discovery, Microsoft provided 8.2 million Copilot […]
The US government wrote a letter in support of OpenAI’s argument that training AI on others' intellectual property is fair use.
The Trump administration has intervened in The New York Times' copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, making an argument in favor of the AI lab. The landmark lawsuit, filed in December 2023, alleging that OpenAI unlawfully trained its AI systems on articles from The New York Times and seeks to recoup "billions of dollars" in damages from […]
The art portfolio platform Cara, designed for creators who don’t want their work used to train AI, has been under assault by trolls seizing and publishing its data.
If you use GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor or any other AI coding assistant to write production code, the legal ownership of what you ship is less settled than your licence agreement implies. The US Copyright Office ruled in January 2025 that purely AI-generated material is not copyrightable, and that prompts alone do not provide sufficient human control to earn protection. Code you wrote with heavy AI assistance sits in an uncertain middle ground: it may be copyrightable, it may not, and no court has drawn the line for software. The answer-first version: you probably do not own copyright in the portions of your code that an AI wrote without substantial human direction, and you may not be able to prove where the boundary lies. This does not mean someone else owns it — it may be uncopyrightable altogether, like a phone book. But your employment contract, your client agreement and your open-source licence all assume you hold full copyright in your deliverables. That assumption is now an open question. The rule, plainly stated Purely AI-generated output is not copyrightable in the United States. This is not a prediction or a legal opinion; it is the stated position of the US Copyright Office, set out in its January 2025 report Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, Part 2: Copyrightability . The report received over 10,000 public comments and represents the Office’s most comprehensive statement on the subject. Its conclusions are clear: “material generated wholly by AI is not copyrightable”, and existing law is adequate to handle the question without new legislation. The nuance sits in the middle ground — which is exactly where most AI-assisted coding lives. What the Copyright Office said The report draws several lines. First, it confirms the long-standing requirement that copyright requires a human author. An AI system cannot be an author, regardless of how sophisticated its output. Second, it addresses prompts: “based on the functioning of current generally available

NYT shifts OpenAI/Microsoft copyright claims after SCOTUS ruling against Sony.
In 2024, Orca Security sued Wiz and demanded their full git version control history. Orca wanted to see "when features and functions were added, modified, or altered, including through engineers' notes and comments." The court recognized git history as relevant evidence in a software IP dispute. It ordered production of commit logs tied to two specific features. That ruling should concern you. Your commits record author name, email, timestamp, and content hash. Git chains them together cryptographically, replicates them across clones, and makes them discoverable in litigation. You are building a legal record whether you intend to or not. You already use git as a development tool. It is also a chain of custody for intellectual property. And you are probably destroying yours. A Cryptographic Chain of Custody Every git commit stores five things: the content of the change, the author's name and email, the author's timestamp, the committer's name and email, and the committer's timestamp. That commit is hashed using SHA-1 (or SHA-256 in newer repositories), and the hash incorporates the hash of the parent commit. Change one byte anywhere in the chain and every subsequent hash changes. This is a Merkle DAG. The same data structure that makes blockchains tamper-evident. Your commit history is a cryptographic proof linking each change to all previous changes. Git records three layers of timestamps. AuthorDate is when the content was written. CommitterDate is when it was finalized into the repository. And the server-side push timestamp, recorded by GitHub or GitLab, marks when the remote received the data. That third timestamp is outside the developer's control. A clone is a full copy of the entire history. Your collaborators, CI runners, and backup systems each hold an independent replica. Forensics researchers call this "evidence proliferation." Tampering with one copy does nothing if fifty others exist unchanged. Under Federal Rules of Evidence 902(14), data verified throu
CNN has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, claiming that the startup's AI tools generate "verbatim" copies of its work, as reported earlier by CNN. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court on Thursday, also alleges that Perplexity provides users with information locked behind CNN's subscription. Perplexity, which offers an AI "answer" engine along with […]
