The Trump administration reportedly fired the head of the US Copyright Office after its preliminary report questioning whether training AI on copyrighted material is fair use.

According to the Trump administration, the SHIA PERLLMTER Copyright Register, which leads the copyright office in the United States, after the office chose to issue a pre -publishing version of its opinion on the state of fair use of artificial intelligence training data that consists of copyright information.

Actor Joe Morel, the Democrats of the House of Representatives Management Committee, described it as “grabbing unprecedented power without any legal basis”, and linking the shooting directly to its report, which he says he was rejecting it “to Elon Musk’s efforts to the business models portable and copyright.”

Among the report’s conclusions is that although the state of fair use of artificial intelligence training “will depend on what has been used, from any source, for any purpose, and what are the controls on outputs – which can all affect the market.” The report says that research and scholarships may be fair, but they say that many other artificial intelligence tools may not be:

However, the commercial use of vast lines of publication -protected rights to produce expressive content compete with them in the current markets, especially when this is achieved through illegal access, exceeding the limits of fair use.

law professor at Colorado Blake Reed described the report as “a ticket loss directly to artificial intelligence companies” in a publication before the reports that Berlill had been launched, he wrote that he asked “if it was a cleansing of the copyright office and they felt the need to rush.” Red wrote that although the copyright office cannot generally “issue binding interpretations of the Copyright Law”, the courts turn into their experience when formulating their views.

Whether the publication of the copyright office for its results is the reason that the Permter has lost or is just a very curious timing, it is not clear, as it does not seem that the White House has been commented on it. Meridith Rose, a copyright expert at this link, asked the report “113 pages” well, the matter depends! And I add that “people who find this attack enough to call for overthrow should be completely unknown – on both sides of this battle.”

Davis wrote while linking it CBS news Story, “This is 100 % unacceptable.”

On the day the copyright report was released, President Trump also launched the Secretary of congress Carla Hayden, from which the Publishing Rights Office is part of. like NPR The reports, White House press secretary Caroline Levitte, without details, claimed that Hayden had done “regarding things … in the pursuit of Dei and put inappropriate books in the library for children.” Each book published in the United States goes to the Library of Congress.
