Media Outlets Sue OpenAI and Microsoft for Copyright Infringement

The Intercept, Raw Story, and AlterNet have separately sued OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement due to the removal of author, title, and other copyright information while training AI models. The publications claim that ChatGPT reproduces copyrighted works without providing necessary information and that OpenAI and Microsoft were aware of potential copyright infringement. This is not the first time AI developers have faced such lawsuits, with The New York Times also filing a similar claim. Additionally, Getty Images is suing Stability AI, and Universal Music Group is suing Anthropic for similar copyright-related issues.

"Court Overturns $1 Billion Copyright Verdict Against Cox Communications for Music Piracy"

A federal appeals court overturned a $1 billion piracy verdict against Cox Communications, ruling that the ISP did not profit directly from copyright infringement committed by its users. The court affirmed the finding of willful contributory infringement but reversed the vicarious liability verdict, ordering a new damages trial. The case, brought by Sony and other music copyright holders, alleged that Cox didn't adequately fight piracy on its network. Advocacy groups supported Cox's appeal, expressing concerns that the ruling could lead to ISPs disconnecting users based on mere accusations of copyright infringement.

"Kat Von D Prevails in Copyright Battle Over Miles Davis Tattoo"

Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D wins a copyright infringement trial over her use of a photograph of Miles Davis for a tattoo, with jurors ruling that her reproduction was not substantially similar to the original image and therefore did not violate copyright law. The jury also found that her related social media posts qualified as fair use. Von D expressed relief at the verdict, stating that the case should never have been brought, while the photographer's lawyer plans to appeal the decision. This trial adds to the ongoing debate over what constitutes fair use of copyrighted material, following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar case involving Andy Warhol's portraits of Prince.

"Kat Von D Prevails in Landmark Copyright Trial Over Miles Davis Tattoo"

A jury found that celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D did not violate a photographer's copyright when she used his portrait of Miles Davis as the basis for a tattoo, ruling that the tattoo, drawing, and social media posts fell within the legal doctrine of fair use. The photographer's attorney plans to appeal, arguing that the images were substantially similar and that the case is about copying protected works, not tattoos. Von D, who considers the tattoo a form of "fan art," emphasized that she made no money from it, while her attorney argued that the lack of commercial gain was essential to the fair use claim.

"Copyright Trial Pits Kat Von D Against Photographer Over Miles Davis Tattoo"

Celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D is on trial for allegedly infringing a photographer's copyright by using his iconic photo of Miles Davis for a tattoo she inked on a friend. The case may have far-reaching implications for the tattoo industry, as it challenges the common practice of not purchasing licenses for images used as inspiration for tattoos. The trial will determine whether Von D's use of the image was "commercial" and whether it impacted the photographer's ability to license the image himself.
