Anthropic, Other Tech Giants Get Authors' Copyright Suit Split law360.com/amp/articles/2…
@banteg Claude has been and is being used for many nefarious purposes, not least wholesale intellectual property theft and manipulation, TDM abuses and more. #CopyrightDirective

Google has form with this, having forced publishers to hand over all user data or face restrictions on Google News. #GDPR
This is disgusting behaviour from Google. It is using its monopoly power to try to force creatives to let it train on their work. It is career suicide for artists not to upload to YouTube. Arguing that doing so allows Google to train AI on their videos/music - AI that competes
See statement from: ACT – Association of Commercial Television and Video on Demand Services in Europe AER – Association of European Radios AMC – Audience Measurement Coalition EBU – European Broadcasting Union EGTA – the International Trade Body of Multiplatform TV and Audio Businesses EMMA – European Magazine Media Association ENPA – European Newspaper Publishers Association EPC – European Publishers Council NME – News Media Europe magazinemedia.eu/joint-letters/…
3/ Articles 88a and 88b need proper scrutiny, impact assessment and alignment with existing EU laws, including the #EuropeanMediaFreedomAct and #DigitalMarketsAct. The #DigitalOmnibus should deliver real simplification — not weaken Europe’s media economy. #EUCompetitiveness #CreativeIndustries #NewsMedia #ePrivacy #GDPR
2/ The concern is not about avoiding responsibility. It is about ensuring that rules around data, consent and audience measurement are proportionate, risk-based and practical. Independent media needs workable regulation to fund journalism, content and cultural diversity. #MediaFreedom #Journalism #AudienceMeasurement #DataProtection
1/ Europe’s media, broadcast and publishing sectors are right to raise concerns about the #DigitalOmnibus ahead of the #TelecomsCouncil. Simplification should mean clearer, more workable rules — not new barriers that make it harder for media businesses to compete. #EU #MediaPolicy #Publishing #Broadcasting
@leicesterliz @CNBC Liz, can you confirm you will be protecting the UK creative economy by insisting on copyright protection against AI companies' wholesale theft of that intellectual property?
@ValerioCapraro AI = legible junk (oftentimes)
Good point. I’d just add that, as usual, we wouldn’t be having this conversation if we’d enforce copyright laws at the outset. The lesson of the digital age is giving copyright exceptions to tech firms as a sort of industrial policy, just leads to bigger problems we have to sort out later. Every time! DMCA copyright safe harbor, Compulsory licensing for streaming, etc etc. Copyright law, rather than being outdated for the digital age, is the solution. More robust rights not less.
An AI tax that distributes AI companies’ ill-gotten gains just to the American people is an unfair and dangerous idea. These companies are built on people’s work from all around the world. An AI tax would mean funneling wealth generated by extracting resources from other

NEW: Days after WIRED revealed that Meta had embedded an unreleased facial-recognition system in software distributed to more than 50 million users, the company appears to have removed it. wired.com/story/meta-rem…
@leicesterliz Thanks Liz - can you explain how this will work in practice, and if possible for this scenario, can you confirm whether you will support the same for detecting copyright-infringing material?

AI data centres will use up enough clean water for 1.3 bn people by 2030, according to a United Nations report. We can live without as many data centres, but not clean water! time.com/article/2026/0…

They take your content; seriously.
Claude 1 was trained on pirated books. Claude 2 was trained on pirated books. GPT-3 was trained on pirated books. The AI industry was built on piracy.
This was 2019: saveyourinternet.eu How will this play out in 2026.... is yet to be seen.

The question now again is is whether AI companies can keep using European books, journalism, film, TV, music and other creative works as training material without proper permission, transparency or payment — or whether the EU needs stronger licensing and enforcement rules.
