On September 19, 2024, our PermaKat Prof. Eleonora Rosati
will discuss the “Liability for AI-generated outputs under EU/UK Copyright Law”
in a
webinar
organized by
4IP Council.
The session will explore whether AI-generated outputs resembling existing works
can be considered actionable reproductions rather than just plagiarism, and who
would be liable, whether the user inputting prompts or the AI tool developers.
It will also examine who may benefit from exceptions and limitations under copyright
law and under what conditions these defences apply. You can register
here.

 

The Media & Arts Law Review is seeking papers exploring
the intersection of law, culture, and power in relation to Taylor Swift for
inclusion in a Special Issue. You can find all the details in the
Call for papers.  

Proposals
are due by 28 June 2024, with final papers due by 16 September 2024.
