AI Co. Anthropic Nabs Partial Fair Use Win in Copyright Case
AI Co. Anthropic Nabs Partial Fair Use Win in Copyright Case
The headlines about this case will miss a lot of the nuances; it's not a complete win for Anthropic, but it is an important one. The ruling found that training AI on legally obtained copyrighted books is fair use because it's "quintessentially transformative." That doesn't mean that training on pirated books is fair use, and nothing in this ruling explicitly addresses content publicly available online. The output of AI is also an unresolved question; I predict we'll have some rulings that generating text or images that too closely matches existing copyrighted works is not protected. AI tools (especially image generation tools) need guardrails to prevent the generation of copyrighted content.

Measuring Fair Use: The Four Factors - Copyright Overview by Rich Stim - Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center
Measuring Fair Use: The Four Factors - Copyright Overview by Rich Stim - Stanford Copyright and Fair Use Center
As intellectual property is one of the topics to discuss related to AI, the question of fair use has become more prominent. This is a good overview of the four factors to determine if something is fair use or not.
The four factors judges consider are: the purpose and character of your use the nature of the copyrighted work the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and the effect of the use upon the potential market.

Dear Rich: An Intellectual Property Blog: Can I Embed YouTube Video at For-Profit Site?
Dear Rich: An Intellectual Property Blog: Can I Embed YouTube Video at For-Profit Site?
Can you embed YouTube videos in courses that are developed for profit? Probably, as long as the copyright holder has enabled embedding. YouTube's terms of service say you have to add "sufficient value" beyond the video if you make money on it. For e-learning, that shouldn't be hard to prove. It's still safer to ask if you're not sure, but it generally should be OK.

Copyrightability of Charts, Tables, and Graphs | U-M Library
Copyrightability of Charts, Tables, and Graphs | U-M Library
Excellent analysis of the case history and interpretation of copyright law. The quick answer is that because data itself can't be copyrighted, charts and graphs that just represent that data also can't be copyrighted. Infographics are an exception because they can demonstrate creativity.
Charts, graphs, and tables are not subject to copyright protection because they do not meet the first requirement for copyright protection, that is, they are not “original works of authorship,” under the definitions in the Act.

The Educational Remix- At Odds With Copyright? | nashworld
Interesting use of Animoto (which creates music videos from a collection of images) with text to create a presentation about the author of a book. Includes a description of how the presentation was created. This does raise some questions of copyright though. Does this count as a sufficiently transformative use of the song to be included here? I'm not 100% convinced; I probably would have found something from Magnatune or elsewhere that was CC-licensed.

The Connected Classroom: A Lesson on Reflection: MORE Copyright Confusion...
A teacher's reflections on using images from Flickr. Although she encouraged the use of Creative Commons images, the nature of the student work clearly fell under fair use. Even so, she got complaints from photographers about the fair use of their work. She wrote a really thoughtful response to the Flickr users and had a great discussion with her students about copyright.

Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog - Blue Skunk Blog - Changing how we teach copyright Pt 2
Part 2 in a series on teaching copyright in a different way. This post argues that educators should be more willing and able to assume that their use is allowed, rather than always assuming it's forbidden if it's a gray area.
Place the onus of proof of wrong doing on the provider, not the proof of fair use by the user.
