An artist who infamously duped an art contest with an AI image is suing the U.S. Copyright Office over its refusal to register the image’s copyright.

In the lawsuit, Jason M. Allen asks a Colorado federal court to reverse the Copyright Office’s decision on his artwork Theatre D’opera Spatialbecause it was an expression of his creativity.

Reuters says the Copyright Office refused to comment on the case while Allen in a statement complains that the office’s decision “put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

    I’ve said many times that copyright protects the creative decisions in a work, which you can’t seem to distinguish from “doing everything”.

    Now explain why Andy Warhol could not claim copyright over “Orange Prince”. It has nothing to do with nonhumans or AI.

    I’ll give you a hint: it has to do with creative decisions. Or lack thereof.
