Nedim reported the words of Katfriends Adrian Aronsson-Storrier and Oliver Faihurst, from Lewis Silkin, on the litigation commenced by Getty against the developers of the AI image generation software, Stability AI. The post also analysed the characteristics of AI image generation softwares, how AI tools function and the impact of copyright on the same tools.

Anna Maria discussed the recent decision of the Italian Supreme Court in relation to the fact that digital art can be protected by copyright law in the case in which it satisfies two requirements: originality and creativity. A particular focus was given to the fact that the use of software tools did not impact eligibility for protection of digital art.

Eleonora considered the approaches taken by different jurisdictions in relation to text and data mining. In particular, the post highlighted the fact that the Government of the United Kingdom, at the moment, did not have any plans in proceeding with the original proposal to broaden the exemption linked to data and text mining.

Nedim reported the insights of Jakob Plesner Methiasen, Hanne Kirk and Thit Nymand Nisbeth on the phenomenon of influencer marketing and how the same could potentially be responsible for IP infringements, especially under the Danish perspective and the EU one.
