Doe v. Github: The Ninth Circuit saves AI Training in DMCA Case

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that plaintiffs failed to show sufficient evidence of harm under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act regarding the use of copyrighted code in AI training. The court affirmed that copyright management information must be identical to the original work for a violation to occur, weakening the legal standing of developers suing AI companies. This decision limits the potential for future DMCA-based litigation against generative AI platforms by setting a higher bar for proving infringement during the training process.
