The company says high-quality original content 'will wither and die' unless copyright law protects it from AI.
Share on linkedin IAC, one of the word's largest internet holding companies, has submitted comments to the U.S. Copyright Office warning that unless the government protects copyrighted material from being used by generative AI, "the creation and publication of high-quality original content will wither and die.": IAC — which is home to Dotdash Meredith, the largest digital and print publisher in the U.S.
"If the meritocracy of quality online content is replaced by whatever GAI happens to cull from wherever on the web, media in all of its forms will shrivel, copyright will protect nothing of value, and the overall quality of publicly available information, and of our public discourse, will suffer," their memo continues.The comments were submitted to the U.S.
In its submission to the Copyright Office, IAC said it is in "general agreement" with the views expressed by the NMA, but is writing separately to address matters of "special relevance" to its business. A formal coalition never materialized, sources told Axios, but publishers are still working together on the issue.: The comments represent a broader tension within news companies around how to leverage generative AI tools to remain competitive while still advocating that the content they publish be protected from AI companies.
