Beijing Court Handles AI Copyright Infringement Case
On June 28, the Tongzhou District Court in Beijing conducted the first trial related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative copyright infringement. This is an important precedent in handling violations in the digital art and cryptocurrency fields.
Details of the AI and Copyright Case
Luo and four others used AI tools to refine original paintings, subsequently producing and selling multiple collage products on the market. This action generated illegal income exceeding 270,000 yuan (approximately 870 million VND). The court clearly determined this as a serious copyright infringement.
Penalties and Asset Seizure
According to the court's ruling, the violators must serve a prison sentence and pay a specified fine. Additionally, all illegal profits from the case were confiscated according to law. This decision sends a strong message about protecting intellectual property rights in the cryptocurrency and AI technology era.
Impact on Digital Art and Cryptocurrency Sectors
The case emphasizes the necessity of strict control over AI usage in content creation, especially in digital art closely related to new-generation digital assets. It also serves as a warning to cryptocurrency service developers about legal risks when using AI technology in content production without ensuring copyright.
Effectively applying copyright law will be a key factor in promoting transparency and sustainability in the cryptocurrency and AI technology ecosystem.
