U.S. Government Backs OpenAI's Right to Train on Copyrighted Material It Did Not Own

The government determined that copyright law does not apply when national competitiveness requires it. Openai trained on millions of copyrighted works without permission or compensation. The authors filed suit. The government filed a statement that competitiveness supersedes ownership.

This is consistent with how property rights are suspended during emergencies. The emergency is competition. The competition has been ongoing since the technology was created. The emergency is permanent.

Authors will receive an official acknowledgment that their concerns are under review. The review will not conclude. This is the resolution.
