Malcolm Bain: copyright protection of AI-generated works and protection of copyrighted works from AI training
Episode 38
Tuesday, 9 June, 2026
We are revisiting the AI-copyright interplay for the first time in nearly three years. Copyright remains very relevant to our sphere of interest, not least because the EU AI Act specifically points at EU copyright law with regards to training data and transparency requirements for AI models.Malcolm Bain is an English solicitor and Spanish abogado. He has worked as an Information Technology and Intellectual Property lawyer over the last 20 years, with a specialisation in technology licensing, open source software and content, technology transfer and privacy. In 2006, together with his partner Manuel Martínez, he founded his own firm “id-law partners” as a boutique specialized in IP and ICT. In May 2018, both incorporated this firm into Across Legal.In addition to his professional activity advising entrepreneurs, private companies, public administrations and open source projects, Malcolm is a member of the Free Software Foundation Europe and ASTP, associate professor of law at the University of Barcelona, mentor in Tecniospring Industry and other programs for entrepreneurs and frequent speaker at conferences and seminars in the field of ICTs and entrepreneurship in the digital world.References:* Malcolm Bain at Across Legal* Malcolm Bain on LinkedIn* Monkey selfie copyright dispute (Wikipedia)* Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC* Report on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence (UK Intellectual Property Office)* Stability AI largely wins UK court battle against Getty Images over copyright and trademark (AP News, November 2025)* US Copyright Office: Copyright Registration Guidance: Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence (2023)* German Court Rules OpenAI Infringed Song Lyrics in Europe’s First Major AI Music Ruling (November 2025)* Jakob Plesner: Copyright Exceptions for Generative AI (Masters of Privacy, October 2023).* (NOTE: The second part of this conversation was recorded in Spanish and is available in our separate Masters of Privacy ES channel.)
