EFF to Courts: Don't Rewrite Copyright over AI Hype

The Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that courts should resist pressure to dramatically expand copyright protections in response to AI, citing historical precedent where copyright panics over new technologies like VCRs and cameras proved unfounded. The organization contends that rightsholders are using hyperbole and speculation to convince courts to abandon longstanding copyright principles, and that new technologies typically create new markets and opportunities rather than destroy creative industries.
