• Abstract: Internet and digital technologies have facilitated copyright sharing in an unprecedented way, creating significant tensions between the free flow of information and the exclusive nature of intellectual property. Copyright owners, users, and online platforms are the three major players in the copyright system. These stakeholders and their relations form the main structure of the copyright-sharing economy. Using China as an example, this paper provides a tripartite perspective on the copyright ecology based on three categories of sharing, namely unauthorized sharing, altruistic sharing, and freemium sharing. The line between copyright owners, users, and platforms has been blurred by rapidly changing technologies and market forces. By examining the strategies and practices of these parties, this paper illustrate the opportunities and challenges for China's copyright industry and digital economy. The paper concludes that under the shadow of the law, a sustainable copyright-sharing model must carefully align the interests of businesses and individual users.

  Language models (LMs) derive their capabilities from extensive training on diverse data, including potentially copyrighted material. This paper introduces the first evaluation of the feasibility and side effects of copyright takedowns for LMs. We examine several strategies, including adding system prompts, decoding-time filtering interventions, and unlearning approaches.

  We show that state-of-the-art image and video generation models can still generate copyrighted characters even if characters' names are not explicitly mentioned. We introduce semi-automatic techniques to identify such keywords or descriptions that trigger character generation. Our findings reveal that common methods, such as DALL-E's prompt rewriting, are insufficient alone and require supplementary strategies like negative prompting.

  Data Shapley provides a principled framework for attributing data's contribution within machine learning contexts. Existing approaches require re-training models on different data subsets, which is computationally intensive. This paper introduces In-Run Data Shapley, which addresses these limitations by offering scalable data attribution for a target model of interest.

  Copyright and computer science continue to intersect and clash, but they can coexist. This Article shows that, contrary to some scholars' views, fair use law does not bless all ways that someone can gain access to copyrighted material. The copyright industry claims, however, that almost all uses of copyrighted material must be compensated, even for non-expressive uses.
