Is it not true that you no longer have to submit a copy of your work to the #CopyrightOffice to register it. The #ValencourtBooks decision involved a section of the Copyright Act that doesn't have anything to do with registration, but rather is about giving copies of works to the Library of Congress for their collection gratis. #Copyright #TakingsClause

The US #CopyrightOffice reiterates its rule that the "author" of a copyrightable work must be a human being, and tries to clarify the ways in which authors may use tools, including #AI tools, to assist in producing copyrightable work. https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf

For example, an author "may modify material originally generated by AI technology to such a degree that the modifications meet the standard for copyright protection."

It's exactly what I felt that all logic dictated what was going to happen. And somehow that in of itself is slightly surprising.

" When registering works, authors must distinguish which content is human-authored and which content is AI-generated. If applicants aren’t sure how to refer to the AI-generated content, the #CopyrightOffice recommends providing a general statement that the work contains AI-generated content."

@internetarchive The problem is copyright had gone from28 years to longer the lifespan of every American. It can be fixed in this country with some simple changes.
1. Copyright renewal should not be automatic.
2. Public performance should be fair use after 28 years (the original copyright limit). 3. Limit heirs and estates to works exactly as copyrighted, not derivative works. #copyright #copyrightoffice

I just registered (again?) for #PACER, to read some court cases about #copyright of course. It doesn't like my credit card, which the #LoC #copyrightoffice happily accepted.

Does this at least mean that my data, being untrustworthy, will not be send to the #NSA?
