US Court Orders Global Action Against Anna's Archive in $19.5M Judgment

A New York federal judge issued a $19.5 million default judgment and a permanent injunction targeting Anna's Archive, a shadow library tied to Sci-Hub and LibGen, naming more than 20 intermediaries to shut down its domains. Operators remain anonymous, complicating enforcement, and while U.S. courts can bind some entities (like Cloudflare), many registrars and country-level registries may resist; the case underscores the conflict between piracy, AI training data needs, and global enforcement.

"Report: Tumblr and WordPress Strike Deals to Sell User Data for AI Training"

Automattic, the owner of Tumblr and WordPress.com, is reportedly in talks with AI companies Midjourney and OpenAI to provide training data scraped from users' posts, potentially creating a new revenue stream for the site. The company plans to launch a new setting allowing users to opt out of data sharing with third parties, including AI companies. However, it's unclear what data has been sent to the AI companies and how it has been used. This move reflects a trend of companies striking deals with AI tool makers for training data, but it has also sparked concerns from the creative community about their work being used for training. Automattic has struggled to monetize Tumblr since acquiring it in 2019 and is seeking new avenues for revenue.

OpenAI Collaborates with Organizations to Enhance AI Training Data

OpenAI has announced its Data Partnerships program, aiming to collaborate with third-party organizations to develop new data sets for training AI models. The initiative seeks to address the flaws and biases present in existing data sets, which can lead to harmful amplification by AI models. OpenAI plans to collect large-scale data sets that reflect human society and encompass various modalities, including images, audio, and video. The company is particularly interested in data that expresses human intention across different languages, topics, and formats. OpenAI will work with organizations to digitize training data and create both open source and private data sets. While the program aims to improve AI model understanding, concerns have been raised about potential bias and compensation for data owners.

"Google Empowers Publishers with Opt-Out Switch for AI Training Data"

Google has introduced a new tool called Google-Extended, which allows website publishers to opt out of having their data used to train the company's AI models while still being accessible through Google Search. The tool, available through robots.txt, enables publishers to control access to their content and manage whether their sites contribute to improving AI applications. This move comes as some sites have already blocked OpenAI's web crawler to prevent data scraping for AI training, and concerns have arisen about blocking Google's crawlers without affecting search indexing.
