COPYRIGHT SOC’Y, 374, (2024) Dave Davis Calliope Networks, co-founder and CEO Rachel Fertig DLA Piper, Partner Umair Kazi The Authors Guild, Director of Policy & Advocacy Roanie Levy Copyright Clearance Center, Legal Advisor Phil Sherrell Bird & Bird, Head of London office Abstract Read Full Article This first panel reflects parallels that the current AI era has with the development of interactive streaming two decades ago: the potential need for online services to take licenses to “all” content of a given type, and thus the need for mechanisms to enable such licensing on a massive scale. Solutions to this problem for streaming developed exclusively in the market until a statutorily mandated solution – for music, in the form of the Music Modernization Act – appeared in 2018. Analogously, this panel discussed various companies’ efforts to build blanket licensing platforms for AI uses in advance of any substantive results from courts or Congress. 71(3) Copyright and Tech_My Blanket and MeDownload
