AI Fair Use Ruling Isn't What You Think
⚖ Join The Class Action Against Suno & Udio: https://www.indieailawsuit.com 🟢 Free Case Evaluation: https://www.topmusicattorney.com/freecaseevaluation 🟠 Say Hi On IG https://instagram.com/topmusicattorney In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the massive AI training fair use decision with the federal court ruling involving authors suing the AI company Anthropic over copyright infringement. The decision, while being hailed as a "win" for AI companies, is being widely misunderstood. Miss Krystle clarifies how the court actually ruled that training AI on copyrighted books can be considered fair use only under specific conditions, like legal access and strongly condemned the use of pirated content, calling it irredeemably infringing. This breakdown connects directly to Miss Krystle’s own class action lawsuits against Suno and Udio, AI music companies accused of training on copyrighted music without permission. With the court aligning closely with the Copyright Office’s stance, this ruling bolsters the legal argument that unauthorized scraping of creative works isn’t protected by fair use. 0:00 Introduction 00:10 Class Action Lawsuit Against Suno & Udio 00:20 Copyright Office On AI Training & Fair Use 00:40 Anthropic "Wins" Lawsuit on AI Training 01:26 Authors Suing Anthropic For AI Training 02:04 Fair Use 02:29 AI Companies Using Fair Use As A Defense 03:32 Transformative AI Training 04:12 Pirated Books Used For AI Training 05:20 Creating New Format Is Fair Use 05:50 Google Books Case 06:16 Transformative vs. Replicate/Supplant 08:04 Access of Creative Works For AI Training 09:44 Ingested Content Used For AI Training 10:15 Good Faith Defense After Pirating 11:16 AI Training 12:01 Fourth Factor on Fair Use (Market Impact) 12:24 Anthropic Trial 12:52 Join The Class Action Lawsuit At https://www.indieailawsuit.com Legal Disclaimer: The information, ideas, and suggestions in this video are not intended to be legal advice.
