EU Report Distills AI-Training Lessons from Napster Pirasee Era: Don’t Sue, License

An in-depth analysis on AI training and copyright, commissioned by the European Parliament, cautions against repeating the mistakes of the early 2000s when online piracy boomed. Instead of suing AI companies into oblivion or relying on "opt-out" mechanisms, the report sees "statutory licenses" as the optimal solution. This effectively authorizes the use of copyrighted works for AI training and should ultimately benefit creators and AI companies.
