Great technology giants like Google and Chatgpt Maker Openai are looking for a “license to steal” while pushing the White House to allow them to train them in copyright protected materials without proper compensation, warned one of the country’s largest publishers.
More than 60 newspapers owned by Alden Global Capital Capites include the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and Denver posting an editorial on Monday demanding that the Trump administration refuse “self-serving proposals” that could destroy the news industry.
“Gutting generations of copyright protection for the benefit of the bots would have a cold effect not only on news organizations, but also on all creators of creative content, from novelists to playwrights to poets,” the editorial said.
“This engagement wearing iron to protect the rights of the work owners they themselves created is exactly what distinguishes the United States from communist China, not the opposite.”
The prayer came day after Google and Sam Altman-Led Openai argued in letters sent to the Trump administration that copyright laws-which are essential for newspapers and other content creators from stopping others from removing their work-must return again to protect national security and allow the US to prevail.
The Big Tech request also met with a regret from a Hollywood high-profile coalition-including famous Trump critics such as Mark Ruffalo and Olivia Wilde-urging the White House to ensure that copyright protection remain in the country.
“We firmly believe that the global leadership of America should not come to the expense of our essential creative industries,” the letter signed by more than 400 Hollywood makers said.
“He’s companies are seeking to undermine this economic and cultural force by weakening copyright protection for movies, television series, artwork, writing, music and voices used to train models at the core of multi -billion dollars corporate estimates,” letters added.
The post arrived at the White House for comment.
Openai and Google did not immediately return the posting request for comment.
Big Tech proposals were submitted in response to the White House request Trump for the “action plans” related to the one that can be used to form the federal regulation.
Openai linked her argument regarding the release of copyright law directly with national security – claiming that the US risked losing the race in China if they did not return the defenses.
“The federal government can ensure the freedom of Americans to learn from it, and avoid the loss of our lead to the PRC while maintaining the ability of US models to learn from copyright protected material,” Microsoft-backed company said.
Meanwhile, Google pushed what he called “balanced copyright rules” that would allow companies and to train their models in protected work.
“These exceptions allow the use of copyright protected material, publicly available for training it without significantly affecting rights and avoiding often very unpredictable, unbalanced and long negotiations with data holders during modeling or scientific experimentation,” Google said in his letter.
Industry lawyers, such as the news alliance-a nonprofit representing more than 2,200 publishers, including posting-have long argued that chatbots he trained for copyright protected articles without credit or payments can cause “catastrophic” damage to blocked publishers.
In its submission to the White House, the news media alliance noted that copyright protected industries “contributed $ 2.09 trillion to the US GDP, reaching almost 8% of the US economy.”
“He’s companies rely on Chinese business practice long criticized for the rampant violation of copyright to argue that we in America must abandon our historical commitment to protect and promote the development of intellectual property,” the group said.
“This argument mistakenly suggests that the American one cannot compete without violating our laws.
Some newspapers owned by Alden are currently suing Openai and her Microsoft supporter for copyright violations. The New York Times has filed a similar lawsuit against chatgpt manufacturer.
News Corp, the media giant who owns the post and Wall Street Journal, believes that “friendship is preferable to courtrooms”, according to her CEO Robert Thomson.
Last year, the company hit a content licensing agreement with Openai, reported that worth more than $ 250 million that included guards to protect its work.
“We would prefer to deceive than to sue, given that lawyers are the big winners in litigation,” Thomson said last July. “But to warn. If we don’t cheat you, we can sue you very well.”
