- Title: Copyright Violations and Large Language Models
- Authors: Antonia Karamolegkou, Jiaang Li, Li Zhou, Anders S{\o}gaard
- Abstract summary: This work explores the issue of copyright violations and large language models through the lens of verbatim memorization.
We present experiments with a range of language models over a collection of popular books and coding problems.
Overall, this research highlights the need for further examination and the potential impact on future developments in natural language processing to ensure adherence to copyright regulations.

- Abstract: Language models may memorize more than just facts, including entire chunks of
texts seen during training. Fair use exemptions to copyright laws typically
allow for limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the
copyright holder, but typically for extraction of information from copyrighted
materials, rather than {\em verbatim} reproduction. This work explores the
issue of copyright violations and large language models through the lens of
verbatim memorization, focusing on possible redistribution of copyrighted text.
We present experiments with a range of language models over a collection of
popular books and coding problems, providing a conservative characterization of
the extent to which language models can redistribute these materials. Overall,
this research highlights the need for further examination and the potential
impact on future developments in natural language processing to ensure
adherence to copyright regulations. Code is at

- Can Watermarking Large Language Models Prevent Copyrighted Text Generation and Hide Training Data? [62.72729485995075]
We investigate the effectiveness of watermarking as a deterrent against the generation of copyrighted texts.
We find that watermarking adversely affects the success rate of Membership Inference Attacks (MIAs)
We propose an adaptive technique to improve the success rate of a recent MIA under watermarking.

Memorization in large language models (LLMs) is a growing concern.
LLMs have been shown to easily reproduce parts of their training data, including copyrighted work.
This is an important problem to solve, as it may violate existing copyright laws as well as the European AI Act.

State-of-the-art models create high-quality content without crediting original creators.
We propose the copyright Plug-in Authorization framework, introducing three operations: addition, extraction, and combination.
Extraction allows creators to reclaim copyright from infringing models, and combination enables users to merge different copyright plug-ins.

Generative AI has witnessed rapid advancement in recent years, expanding their capabilities to create synthesized content such as text, images, audio, and code.
The high fidelity and authenticity of contents generated by these Deep Generative Models (DGMs) have sparked significant copyright concerns.
This work delves into this issue by providing a comprehensive overview of copyright protection from a technical perspective.

Diffusion models excel in creating images from text prompts, a task referred to as text-to-image (T2I) generation.
Recent studies have studied the copyright behavior of diffusion models when using direct, copyrighted prompts.
Our research extends this by examining subtler forms of infringement, where even indirect prompts can trigger copyright issues.
