Disney demands that Google immediately block its copyrighted content from appearing in AI outputs.

    The inevitable follow-up of their OpenAI deal. Make a deal with a big GenAI company to get precedent for them licensing your copyrights, then go against everyone else who doesn’t have such a deal. Now it’s up to see who bribed Trump the most.

      Further proof that copyrights, like patents, only benefit the rich.

      Also, AI-generated material still falls into the monkey selfie legal realm, so they are going to have a helluva time trying to copyright what comes out.

        I don’t think they care about monetizing the output, but only about not being sued by the output and making other need to pay 1B to Disney before releasing models. Basically they run out of moat, and now they’re creating an artifical moat.

      I mean, that’s exactly how those deals work.

        And also exactly how copyright licensing has always worked.
