Elon Musk's attempt to influence the U.S. Copyright Office through Donald Trump's dismissal of existing officials has backfired. Trump's newly appointed acting officials, particularly Todd Blanche and Paul Perkins, are hostile to the tech sector and aligned with a conservative agenda to curtail big tech influence. The shift follows the Copyright Office's warning against the use of generative AI in fair use. As a result, instead of facilitating Musk's objectives, the changes may impose stricter regulations on the technology industry.
"The appointments of Blanche, Perkins, and Nieves signify a substantial shift in the leadership at the Copyright Office, aligning more closely with MAGA's objectives to regulate tech companies more rigorously."
"When Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter, it was perceived as a direct response to the Copyright Office's recent report on generative AI's fair use implications."
