"The campaign, titled "Stealing Isn't Innovation", launched on Thursday with the support of around 800 creative professionals, including the band R.E.M. and bestselling author Jodi Picoult. In a joint statement, the signatories accuse technology companies of using copyrighted material "without authorisation or regard for copyright law " to build commercial AI platforms. "Artists, writers and creators of all kinds are banding together with a simple message," the statement said."
"The campaign urges AI developers to pursue licensing agreements and partnerships with rights holders rather than scraping creative content from the open web. It also acknowledges firms that have already taken that approach. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, has signed licensing deals with organisations including Disney and The Guardian, while Warner Music Group has reached an agreement with AI music generator Suno."
A campaign called "Stealing Isn't Innovation" launched with support from around 800 actors, musicians, writers and other creative professionals. Signatories accuse AI companies of using copyrighted material without authorisation or regard for copyright law to build commercial platforms and call that theft. The campaign urges developers to pursue licensing agreements and partnerships with rights holders instead of scraping content from the open web. Some firms have negotiated licenses, including OpenAI with Disney and The Guardian and Warner Music Group with Suno. AI companies argue use of publicly available data can qualify as fair use, and multiple US lawsuits are testing that claim.
