EMERGENCY POD: Kadrey v. Meta's "Fair Use" Decision - Don't Believe The Tech Bro Hype, Copyright Owners Are The Big Winners
In this emergency podcast episode, Peter Csathy's co-hosts discuss the second ground-breaking AI copyright "fair use" decision in the past two days - this time Judge Vince Chhabria's in Kadrey v. Meta (from the same federal district court in Northern California in which Judge William Alsup sits, and who decided "fair use" in Bartz v. Anthropic). This podcast - generated using Google NotebookLM - is based on Csathy's detailed written analysis of both cases. Csathy underscores that at first blush, both "fair use" decisions look like victories to AI developers. But he offers the convincing case as to why both decisions - especially the decision in Kadrey v. Meta - are actually huge wins for copyright owners. And he argues that these decisions will significantly heat up the AI licensing market.
