Legal Battles Shape AI and Copyright Landscape Amid Industry Changes
TL;DR Summary
A judge ruled that Anthropic's use of legally acquired books for AI training was 'exceedingly transformative' and qualifies as fair use, but using pirated copies is not protected. The case sets an important precedent for AI training on copyrighted works, emphasizing that internal digitization for personal use is fair, while piracy remains illegal. The ruling also clarifies that buying a book after pirating it does not absolve liability for infringement.
