В цифрах
The Bundesgerichtshof (Federal Court of Justice) in Karlsruhe is evaluating whether the use of a photograph for artificial intelligence training is legal. A photographer sued a non-profit organization that provides datasets with billions of entries for free. The organization had temporarily downloaded publicly accessible preview images, including the plaintiff photographer's photo.
The organization added not the images themselves, but only metadata such as URLs and descriptions to the dataset. The controversial photo had been published on an agency website that prohibited automated software and bot access. The photographer claimed copyright infringement, but the Hamburg Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) ruled that the act was permitted under the "text and data mining" exception. The final decision now rests with the Bundesgerichtshof.
