"How to identify original works by artists? How to attribute works generated by AI intermediaries? How to remunerate authors whose works have been used? How to manage opt-outs for artists who refuse their content to be used by AI? These are the questions that require a review of the copyright directive in light of generative AI,” says Mireille Clapot, the Member of Parliament leading on the opinion and President of France’s National Assembly’s High Commission for Digital and Posts (CNSP).
Although Clapot and her colleagues welcome the AI Act, they believe the Copyright Directive will have to be amended because of the recent technological developments in AI.
That’s great, because this will mean I can train a generative AI on all copyrighted music and tune it accordingly to reproduce those works exactly, but claim it just does this randomly, because “AI works in mysterious ways”…
What they should do is reduce the copyright duration. Lifetime+70years is way too loong
I think 20 years should be plenty to earn money from a creative work.
Imagine the cultural possibilities if everything before 2004 was public domain…
Don’t you think it’s rather strange for an artist, if people can use their art how ever they want during the artist lifetime?
Would be a great incentive to make new art then, wouldn’t it?
It might seem strange to you only because you aren’t used to it. However, copyright is a fairly new concept, and most of human history happened without it.
