This week, I liked Professor Guadamuz’s recap of the current state of AI and copyright ownership. There have been more developments in the new DOGE department’s access to data, including three lawsuits. Finally, there has been some good commentary on the Thomson Reuters v Ross copyright case over the copyrightability of the Westlaw Headnotes system.
