What initially seemed to play the power of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) to take over the American Copy Law Office by removing Donald Trump’s removal of responsible officials in a spectacular way, because Trump’s acting replacements are unfriendly – and even hostile – to the technology industry.
When Trump released the librarian of the Carli Hayden congress and the Copying Rights of Shira Perlmutter last week at the weekend, it was perceived as another movement driven by the technological wing of the Republican Party-especially in the featherlight of the copyright office released before the publication, in which it was found that some kind of general training would not be considered forthright employ. And when two men appeared in the Copyright Office in the Congress Library carrying alleged lists to designate them as managerial positions, the takeover of dog seemed to be completed.
But these two men, Paul Perkins and Brian Niesves, were not a dog at all, but instead they approved the magician Wing of the Trump Coalition, which aims to control technology companies.
Perkins, currently the alleged acting register of copyright, is an eight -year veteran of the Doj, who served in the first Trump administration, chasing fraud. Nieves, the alleged deputy librarian, is currently U and Todd Blanche, the alleged librarian of the Congress, who would be their boss, is the avid ally of Trump, who represented him during the penalty trial in Manhattan at 2024, and now he is the deputy prosecutor general supervisor supervisor to supervise Bok on the side Search Google Search. As one of the government lobbyists said The VergeBlanche is “there to stick it to technology.”
The nominations Blanche, Perkins and NIVES are the result of a furious lobbying over the weekend by the conservative content industry – because jealously protective for their copyright protected works, such as any other media companies – as well as populist Republican legislators and lawyers, all furious that the Silicon Valley gave the tuba to the fuel of someone who has recently critched.
Talking sources The Verge They are convinced that warnings are a technological industry game led by Elon Musk and David Sacks
Populists were particularly surprised to remove the Perlmutter from the helm of the copyright office, which took place the day after the release of the agency Version before publication a report on the employ of copyright protected materials in generative training of AI systems. Talking sources The Verge They are convinced that the technological energy game led by Elon Musk and the “White House of AI and Crypto Wizard” by David Sacks, aimed at eliminating all resistance to AI using AI, using original materials for training models without having to pay for it.
“You can say Well, we have to compete with China. No, we don’t have to steal content to compete with China. We don’t have a labor force to compete with China. This is nonsense – said Mike Davis, president of the project art. III and a key Trump antitrust advisor, he said The Verge. “It is not allowed to employ on the basis of copyright provisions to take the content of everyone and have huge technological platforms. This is the opposite of permitted employ. This is a violation of copyright.”
This is rarely when Maga World agrees with the Democratic Party, which Hayden and Perlmutter’s round warning, and also zooming at the musk faction as incident.
Interpretation of the agency of what is or is not contemporary use, there is no binding force on the courts
Publications such as the AI report generally presents how the Copyright Office interprets copyright. But the interpretation of the agency regarding what is or not, there is no binding force on the courts, so the report like this act mainly as expert commentary and reference material. However, the entire AI industry is based on an expansive interpretation of copyright, which is currently being tested in the courts – a situation that has created a tragic need for exactly this kind of expert comments.
The AI report applies the right to use for various types of training and the use of AI, stating that although the results may differ in accident, “using commercial employ of extensive limits of legal activities in order to obtain expressive content that competes with them in existing markets, especially where it is achieved through illegal access, goes beyond the established limits of allowed employ.” But far from advising a drastic action in response to what, according to the office, a crazy violation of copyright, the report states that “government intervention would be premature at that time”, given that license agreements are concluded in different sectors.
“Now the techniques will steal copyrights to AI profits”
The indestructive nature of the report meant that the removal of the Perlmutter are even more disturbing for the ideologists of the magician in the inner circle of Trump, who perceived this as a clear capture of power and immediately loudly loudly. “Now the techniques will steal copyright to AI profits,” Davis immediately published the truth, along with the link to the history of CBS about the shooting of Perlmutter. “It is 100% unacceptable.”
Interestingly, immediately after publishing the post, Trump published him, the link and so on.
None of the allegedly appointed by Trump has a particularly important origin for their new works – but they are certainly not people and in general, they are not people whom generative supporters of AI in the office would like. And for now it counts as a political win for anti-technical populists, even if nothing happens. “Sometimes, when you do leadership on the list to get rid of someone, the person who comes, is not better,” said the source familiar with the dynamics between the White House and both sides of the copyright issuing. “You can not necessarily replace the successor and release someone, so in many cases I saw people pushed out the door and the exchange is even worse.”
However, the speed of dismissal and the subsequent struggle for power, however, emphasized the constitutional crisis of brewing caused by Trump’s frequent shooting by independent agencies confirmed by Congress. In particular, the Library of Congress Schedules reaches far beyond the theory of executive power, which is demanded by the White House and even on a more dark territory. It is legally doubtful whether the Congress Librar can be removed by the president as a library, a legal agency that significantly precedes the administrative state, does not fit carefully in the contemporary legal framework of federal agencies. (Of course, everything in the law is a shock Down Adjust the frame.) regardless of this The law clearly states that the Librarian of the Congress – not the president – appoints the Register of Copyright.
At the moment, the Congress Library has not received any direction from Congress on how to move forward. The constitutional crisis – one of many in the entire federal government – remains in progress.
Elon Musk and Xai did not answer the request for comment.
