Generative AI crashed the copyright party in 2023 and it didn’t wipe its boots at the door. In this episode, we break down the chaotic, caffeinated debate over who owns what when machines start getting “creative.” From the U.S. Copyright Office’s tough love (no human, no copyright) to courtroom showdowns like Thaler v. Perlmutter and the cautious applause for Théâtre D’opéra Spatial, we’re talking authorship, ownership, and whether your AI art deserves a gold star or a cease-and-desist. If you've ever asked, “Can I copyright something my laptop hallucinated?”—this one's for you.
