Epic has noted a victory that had been waiting for a while

‘Fortnite‘He just returned to the iOS App Store in the United States. It is not a new game, much less: it is the same title that accumulated millions of users when debuted in 2017 and that has not stopped updating since then. The return comes after a long legal battle between Epic and Apple, who took the store game in 2020. Now it is available again, and that says much more than it seems: the rules of the iOS ecosystem are starting to move, and Epic once again occupies a place that Apple had closed. A fight that started with a button. Epic decided to include its own payments within Fortnitethus skipping the standards of the App Store. Apple responded by removing the game from his store. That movement was the beginning of a dispute that did not go unnoticed. The case ended in court. What came later was a high profile battle between two giants in the sector. Epic accused Apple of imposing unfair conditions, while Apple defended that the rules were the same for everyone. A partial victory for Epic. Justice did not consider Apple to have a monopoly, but it did conclude that violated the disloyal competition law of California. The failure forces Apple to allow apps to include links or buttons towards external payment systems. Apple didn’t make it easy. Although Apple modified its policies after the judicial resolution, it introduced warning screens that advised against the use of external payment methods, all this with Epic protesting again and again. Europe forced the first crack. In the European Union, the context is different. Under the pressure of the community authorities and thanks to the new legislation of the Digital Markets LawApple allowed Epic Games to install Fortnite on the iPhone through Your own application store. This exemplifies how the rules of the game can vary according to the region. In Android the story was similar (but not the same). Google also withdrew Fortnite from his store for the same reason: Epic had activated his own payment system. However, in December 2023 A jury declared that Google maintained a monopoly in the mobile app distribution market. The company has appealed. Today, Google Play still does not offer Fortnite, although Android users can download it directly from the Epic website. Epic does not give up. The company has been denouncing what it considers abusive conditions by large application stores, especially with regard to commissions. Its objective is to change that model, and Fortnite’s return to the iPhone seems, at least for the moment, a small step in that direction.

Altman’s plan to attract private investment to OpenAI has stayed halfway. It’s a victory for Elon Musk

Openai has conquered a place at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) with products such as Chatgpt and GPT-4O. But there is a detail that escapes in many conversations: It is still a startup. It is several times smaller than Microsoft or Google and faces an existential challenge that does not have so much to do with its products, but with money. That challenge has its own name: its peculiar organizational structure. The openai part that generates income, directed by Sam Altmanis controlled by a non -profit organization. This unconventional model has aroused doubts among investors. Altman proposed to restructure the company to attract more private capital and accelerate the path to a General Artificial Intelligence (AGI). The problem is that this plan has just received a blow. A difficult governance to sell. The Board of Directors has decided to maintain control from the non -profit entity, after opening conversations with the general prosecutors of California and Delaware. These authorities monitor the legal status of organizations of this type and could have blocked change. The announcement has made it public Bret Taylor, president of the Board, In an official statement from OpenAI. A victory for Musk. Elon Musk had sued Openai for that attempt at reorganization. He assured that the company had diverted from its initial purpose of developing a safe and oriented the good of humanity. The decision to preserve the original supervision partially reinforces its argument: the structure remains, at least for the moment. New model, but with the same control. Despite the other way around, Openai maintains another important change. It is expected that its commercial organization will operate as a public benefit corporation (PBC). The difference is that, instead of separating itself from the non -profit organization, it will continue to have the last word. Now they are negotiating how that supervision will be articulated, but everything indicates that it will be the non -profit organization that designates the members of the Board of the New PBC. This could hinder future financing rounds. Because in this OpenAi, which has not managed to transform completely, interest is not measured only into dividends, as investors would like.

A victory for AI technology

In recent years, The use of copyright protected works To train artificial intelligence models has generated an intense legal and ethical debate. However, the limits of this practice remain diffuse. Now, a new movement in the courts has given a respite to the great technological ones, tilting the balance in their favor. Anthropic’s (partial) victory. This week, the company behind the chatbot Claude He got a favorable failure. As Reuters points outa Federal Judge of the United States dismissed the request of several musical editors, including Universal Music Group, who sought to provisionally block the use of protected copyright letters in the training of AI models. The origin of the case. In October 2023, Concord, Abkco Music & Records, Universal Music and several of his subsidiaries They took Anthropic to the courts. They accused her of using letters protected by copyright to train Claude, her chatbot of AI, who was able to generate answers with textual or almost textual fragments of her works. The plaintiffs argued that Anthropic had violated the copyright of at least 500 songs, although some specifically cited, such as Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’, ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor and ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ of the Rolling Stones. They also stressed that the company did not have any license to use those letters. “There are already several aggregators of song lyrics and websites that fulfill this same function, but these sites have duly licensed the works protected by the copyright of the publishers to provide this service,” said the demand. Here presumably referred to web catalogs such as Genius or Musixmatch. The judge says ‘no’ to the motion. Judge Eumi Lee rejected the precautionary measure requested by the record records. He considered that they did not demonstrate irreparable damage or clearly evidenced how the use of protected letters to train Claude affected his reputation or the license market. In addition, he stressed that the petition was too wide. Claude no longer spits song lyrics. If you ask Claude today to recite the letter of ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ of the Rolling Stones or ‘Roar’ of Katy Perry, the Anthropic chatbot will refuse for copyright reasons. Instead, it will offer some data related to the song, the album or the artist, but without reproducing it. This is because Anthropic reached an agreement with record records to apply filters that prevent their AI models, both current and future, to generate answers that violate copyright. That commitment was, in fact, one of the elements that the judge took into account by rejecting the precautionary measure requested by the editors. Everything is said. The judicial decision known this week does not end the case. The process continues its course, with both parties trying to achieve a victory. While the record records seek to protect the catalog of the artists they represent, Anthropic defends their training model supporting the legitimate use.

Within six remarkable minutes, PSG were level, with goals from Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola, and a stunning comeback was completed in the 78th when Joao Neves headed the decisive goal. Goncalo Ramos added a fourth in stoppage time. AC Milan quietly climbed to sixth place with a 1-0 win against Girona at the San Siro, and Celtic advanced by winning 1-0 against Young Boys, who lost a seventh game in a row.
