Huge congratulations to our Head of Research @jwthickstun, who gave a TED Talk at TEDAI San Francisco on who is actually in control of generative AI. Watermarking, music models, why big tech shouldn't be calling the shots alone. Watch it here. ted.com/talks/john_thickstun…

Our platform flagged a YouTube channel impersonating Lenny Kravitz this week. 8 Shorts in 2 days, using first-person captions like "time to get back, who's ready for me?" to pose as the artist. 14.6K views in under a week.

CASE STUDY: Moby on YouTube Rights infringement isn't just coming from AI - album uploads are flying under the radar. This week we found '1st Albums Channel' hit 903K views by infringing content from Coachella star, Moby. Ad revenue generated. None flowing to the rightsholder
