EU AG opinion in Like Company v Google: AI training falls under Article 4 copyright exception
technollama · x · 2026-11-03
- The Advocate General's opinion in Like Company v Google is out (press release; full text now shared by technollama/Andrea Mattiello).
- Two highlights: no evidence Google trained on Like Company's article, and AI training is held to fall within Article 4's temporary reproduction exception — potentially settling the long-running debate over whether training is a reproduction controlled by copyright.
- The opinion rests on the communication-to-the-public framework; the actual court judgment has not yet been issued.
