Collect a marketing piece for a copyright question and stop
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- Identify the piece, its date, and whether it is text, a picture, or a video. Write no opinion on authorship or infringement.
- What the lawyer must review
- Section 102(a) of Title 17 says copyright protection subsists in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression. The categories include literary works, musical works, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, and architectural works. Section 102(b) says protection does not extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery. No Copyright Office guidance on machine-generated material was opened, so none is applied. Advice on whether the piece is protected is written by the lawyer. Formal Opinion 512 applies.
