Blog / US Court Ruling on Copyright Protecting AI
« Last post by kat on September 02, 2023, 10:29:06 AM »In STEPHEN THALER, Plaintiff, v. SHIRA PERLMUTTER, Register of Copyrights and Director of the United States Copyright Office, et al. Judge Beryl A. Howell opined that AI generated art work is NOT subject to Copyright protection. It stands to reason then that businesses that employing AI generated content as a basis of their Intellectual Property, in part or whole, is risking uncontrolled 'misappropriations' they cannot defend against using standard Copyright arguments.
Further to this opinion from the Courts, the United States Copyright Office has issued a "Copyright Office Issues Notice of Inquiry on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence" to "study" issues surrounding use of AI and how the affects on Copyright.
The UK's Intellectual Property Office conducted a similar 'consultation', "Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property: copyright and patents: Government response to consultation" that essentially concluded it's still too early to definitively rule one way or the other on AI in relation to Intellectual Property. The UK does however, have a 'code of practice' that can be followed - "The government's code of practice on copyright and AI". While this is available it doesn't necessarily mean AI, art in particular, is being granted Copyright protection.

(Email Subject) Subject: Your private information has been stolen because of suspicious events.
Greetings!
Would like to introduce myself - I am a specialized hacker, and have succeeded in hacking your operating system.
At this moment, I have obtained a complete access to account of yours.
On top of that, I was also unnoticeably observing all your activities and spying on you for few past months.
It was possible because your computer was infected with malicious spyware, which infiltrated your computer while you were visiting a website containing adult videos.
Give me a few minutes to clarify how that affects you.
Because of Trojan viruses, I am now able to have an unrestricted access to your computer as well as any other devices owned by you.
In other words, I can see without any restrictions everything in your screen and even activate the camera together with microphone anytime I want, and you won't even know about that.
Moreover, I have complete access to confidential data of yours including emails, chat history etc.
You may be rightfully puzzled how come your antivirus is not able to detect the harmful software of mine.
I don't mind explaining that at all: my malicious software is driver-based; hence it refreshes its signatures every 4 hours, which makes it impossible for your antivirus to identify it.
I have come up with a video exposing the scenes of your passionate **** sessions on the left side, whereas on the right side it shows the dirty videos you were watching during that time. `.`
Trust me, it takes several mouse clicks to distribute this video to your entire email addresses list as well as messenger contacts on your PC or other devices.
Additionally, I can easily share all your emails as well as chat history to public too.
I honestly think you would certainly like to abstain from letting that happen.
There is a solution for you in this case - perform 750 USD transfer in Bitcoin equivalent to Bitcoin account of mine (it is really not difficult to do, and you can find online the step-by-step guide, if you have no idea about it).
My bitcoin account details are below as follows (Bitcoin wallet): [bitcoin address]
Once the aforementioned amount gets transferred to my account, I will straight away erase all those **** videos and vanish from your life completely.
Please, settle this payment within 50 hours (2 days).
A notification will be sent to me right after this email gets opened, which will trigger the countdown.
Believe me, I am very cautious, professional and never fail.
If I get to know about you sharing this message with anyone else, I will right away distribute your private videos to public.
Best of luck!

Another way to confirm these are blackmail scams is the number of message that might be received, scammers are opportunistically greedy when it comes to scams, if one finds a target, they'll all jump in on the game, they simply cannot help themselves spam the recipient/target with demands.

Uploaded content: Feedback required
Greetings!
Our AI-powered tools have detected that you are featured in sexually explicit content that was uploaded to our platform.
At our company, we take the security and privacy of our users very seriously, and we use advanced technology to help detect and prevent the distribution of non-consensual intimate images and videos.
While our tools are powerful, we also rely on human oversight to ensure that our platform remains safe and secure for everyone.
If you have approved the upload of this content, you do not need to take any further action. The video will be published to our library within the next seven days, and you will have an opportunity to review the content after the grace period has passed.
However, if you did not approve the upload of this content, we kindly ask that you follow the instructions below to take immediate action.
Our platform boasts an extensive network of websites and partners, which means that ensuring the security of our content is a top priority.
To achieve this, all uploaded content is digitally fingerprinted using both the MediaWise{R} service from Vobile{R} and Safeguard, our own proprietary digital fingerprinting software.
This helps to prevent unauthorized distribution of content on our platform.
For our premium users who upload content, we offer monetary incentives. However, in some cases, uploaded content may be put on hold.
If this happens, we can initiate a quick automated removal process, but we would require an incentive refund to do so.
The basic express removal, blocking, and protection against re-uploading of content on our network of 20 websites costs $199 USD.
As a digital company, we take great pride in our integrity and measures, which is why we offer additional options for protecting against unauthorized content uploads 24/7.
We have all our processes automated, including payment processing, for your convenience.
Our Plan A includes everything in the basic removal option, plus digitally fingerprinting of the content and automated removal and protection against re-uploading to our vast network of partner websites (300+) for one year, all for $699 USD.
If you require the best protection available, we recommend our
Plan B, which includes everything in Plan A plus digital protection by MediaWise{R} and Safeguard based on facial recognition data for three years. This ensures that any content with your biometrics will be blocked, and it costs $1399 USD.
Our system takes care of your request automatically and swiftly, so there's no need to contact us.
The payment process is automated through a Bitcoin gateway, and the digital number you receive below is unique to your case and doesn't require any extra confirmation.
[bitcoin address]
To transfer the amount corresponding to your chosen option, copy and paste this identifier into your preferred cryptocurrency wallet.
You can review the content uploaded after the seven-day grace period, either by checking our Youporn.com library or by contacting the member who uploaded the content.
We encourage users who feature in content and wish to prevent its upload to our platform to consider proactively digitally fingerprinting it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi, today there are sadly some bad news for you.
Your device was infected with my private malware, your browser wasn't updated / patched, in such case it's enough to just visit some website where my iframe is placed to get automatically infected, if you want to find out more, Google: Drive-by exploit.
My malware gave me full access to all your accounts, full control over your device and it also was possible to spy on you over your cam.
If you think this is some bad joke, no, I know your password: 123456a
I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your cam) SATISFYING YOURSELF!
After that I removed my malware to not leave any traces and this email was sent from some hacked server.
I can publish the video of you and all your private data on the whole web, social networks, over email and send everything to all your contacts.
But you can stop me and only I can help you out in this situation.
The only way to stop me, is to pay exactly $950 in Bitcoin (BTC).
It's a very good offer, compared to all that horrible **** that will happen if I publish everything.
You can easily buy Bitcoin (BTC) here: paxful.com , coingate.com , coinbase.com , or check for Bitcoin (BTC) ATM near you, or Google for other exchanger.
You can send the Bitcoin (BTC) directly to my wallet, or install the free software: Atomicwallet, or: Exodus wallet, then receive and send to mine.
My Bitcoin (BTC) wallet is: [bitcoin address]
Yes, that's how the wallet / address looks like, copy and paste it, it's (cAsE-sEnSEtiVE).
I give you 2 days time to pay.
After receiving the payment, I will remove everything and you can life your live in peace like before, don't worry, I keep my promise.
Next time make sure that your device got the newsest security updates.
