The Post reports:A select committee has been warned today that a satire and parody exception to copyright laws, if approved, could more easily allow AI companies to exploit NZ creatives’ work. New Zealand’s creative industries have strong reservations about a new bill that will allow people the free use of copyright-protected material for social commentary – in part because the bill completely ignores AI, the main way copyright infringements happen these days. The bill doesn’t allow AI copyright infringement. It merely gives an exception for the very limited categories of parody and satire. They oppose anything which is not copyright maximalist.
