We have some great reads for you this month. Of course we continue looking at AI in its various forms and its various ways it continues to have an impact on copyright works, indigenous art, and somewhat disturbing cat AI slop videos. We also look at copyright and knitting, science, Baby Shark song issues, and James Bond trademark legal fight. We also share the research done on copyright anxiety in the UK and Canada. A must read for all copyright geeks.
