As of March 2026, the US #Copyright Office and several international bodies maintain that #AI generated material, without significant human “creative control”, cannot be copyrighted. This means that AI generated material often resides in the #publicdomain, making it impossible to enforce any license terms on the material.

The Govt. has stepped back from its 'preferred option' of reforming copyright law to allow expanded (unrestricted) use of content after extensive opposition from the creative industries in the UK. The next step may well be further consideration of other reforms, but we can also expect a lot of blackmail-like lobbying from AI firms claiming they will withdraw from the UK if their casual theft of content is halted... many might say: good riddance! #AI #copyright https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/18/actors-musicians-writers-welcome-uk-u-turn-ai-copyright

"Even worse was the suggestion by Grammarly’s A.I. version of me to replace the first sentence of the news article with an anecdotal opening describing a fictional person named Laura whose privacy had been violated. “Laura, a patient searching for relief from a chronic condition, clicks through her hospital’s website to schedule an appointment. In just a few moments, her most private medical details — her reason for visiting, her doctor’s name and even the treatment she seeks — are quietly sent to Facebook, without her knowledge,” the bot suggested with a button allowing the user to paste that excerpt straight into the article. Replacing a factual sentence with an imagined story about a person who doesn’t exist is not only bad editing. It’s a deception that could end my career as a journalist (or the career of any journalist who took that terrible advice). And this is the problem with A.I. It doesn’t know truth from fiction. It doesn’t know an investigative news article from an offhand comment. It flattens all content into word associations. What Grammarly made wasn’t a doppelgänger. As the writer Ingrid Burrington wrote on Bluesky, it was a sloppelgänger — A.I. slop masquerading as a person. And it must be stopped." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/opinion/ai-doppelganger-deepfake-grammarly.html #AI #GenerativeAI #Copyright #Writing #Hallucinations

Authors and Authors’ Estates Sue The Topps Company for Unpaid Royalties This is yet another Writer Beware post about allegations of royalties long left unpaid. But it’s also about the challenges of work-for-hire arrangements, and what can potentially go wrong when intellectual property repeatedly changes hands.

In 2009, a physician took a certification exam for the American Board of Internal Medicine. What followed was a 15-year legal battle. https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2026/01/28/a-15-year-long-fight-over-exam-questions/ #Copyright #ExamPreparation #Certification

@crazyeddie@mastodon.social @DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social "All rights reserved" usually would appear in the *published* version of your work, not necessary in a MS for a beta reader. It indicates that the publisher of the book has reserved all other rights, so people who want film rights, magazine rights etc would need to apply to the publisher, and if they agreed to sell, say, the film rights, they would have to OK it with you too. #copyright
