Bollywood stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are suing to remove AI deepfakes and to make YouTube/Google ensure those videos aren’t used to train other AI models. This asks judges to impose duties that reach beyond content takedown into how platforms permit dataset reuse. It would create a legal curb on AI training pipelines sourced from platform uploads.
— If courts mandate platform safeguards against training on infringing deepfakes, it could redefine data rights, platform liability, and AI model training worldwide.

The piece’s McConaughey trademarking gambit is a concrete instance of the same problem the existing item flags (using legal claims to stop use of likenesses and training on platform content); it adds a new tactic (trademarking clips/expressions) that complements ongoing litigation strategies cited in the existing idea.

The article shows a celebrity pursuing a legal route to curb AI misuse of likenesses; this maps directly onto the existing idea about courts being asked to prevent platforms from using uploaded content for training. McConaughey’s trademark filings are an alternative/complimentary legal lever that targets use and attribution of likeness—similar in aim to litigation seeking limits on model training from platform uploads.

Both stories show how judicial rulings can reach into commercial practices and reshape whole industries: the deepfake training cases ask courts to curb platform data use and model training pipelines; the Delaware decision reverses a chancery doctrine that had invalidated a major compensation transaction and signals that court‑created doctrines can materially alter corporate contracting and market trust.

Both items place law at the centre of contesting deepfakes: the existing item describes legal claims that could constrain AI training pipelines, and this article reports the Senate passing the DEFIANCE Act, which creates civil liability for creators of nonconsensual explicit deepfakes—together these developments show parallel judicial and legislative pressure on how deepfakes are produced and reused.

A conversational anecdote in the piece reports a court interpretation requiring the original physical copy to be destroyed for fair‑use training—an emblematic, fictionalized distillation of the real legal fights over whether platforms and researchers may use copyrighted works for model training, directly connecting to existing litigation and judicial pressure on AI training pipelines.

Both pieces center on litigation as a mechanism that will shape AI practice: the article describes a Trump EO task force aimed at challenging state AI laws (a litigation strategy), which parallels the existing idea that courts can force limits on model training and platform obligations (deepfake cases). In short, judicial review will be the arena where national rules get defined.

Arlyck’s narrative that early prize litigation anchored a domain of federal jurisdiction parallels modern litigation where courts decide the scope of techno‑policy (e.g., deepfake training bans); in both cases judicial decisions about jurisdiction and remedies materially alter state capacity and private‑sector practice — here the Henfield trial and the 21 privateering cases are the historical analogue to contemporary court orders that reshape industries.

Both items are about courts being asked to constrain regulatory or platform practices that affect how companies handle user data and model training: the deepfake litigation sought judicial limits on platform training/data use, and this Supreme Court case could curtail an agency’s enforcement leverage over carriers for selling location data, similarly reshaping private‑sector obligations and the boundary between regulator and judge.

Bloomberg’s note that Amazon is suing Perplexity for similar automated purchasing and the vendor's scraping‑and‑reposting behavior connects to ongoing legal fights about whether platforms may re‑use third‑party content or create derivative commercial products; the article provides concrete seller complaints that courts will likely have to reckon with in shaping platform duties around dataset reuse and downstream monetization.

Doctorow’s proposal—using legal reform to allow reverse engineering and thus to alter training/data pipelines—connects to the existing idea that courts and legal rules can reshape what data platforms may lawfully permit for model training; both describe legal interventions that reach into AI training ecosystems and vendor liability.

Related precedent‑logic: that idea highlights courts shaping AI training/data regimes; Musk’s suit similarly asks courts to police founders’ commitments and commercial conversions, which could produce judicially enforced constraints on how AI firms organize and monetize their datasets or corporate structures.

Both items show courts using injunctive power to go beyond simple takedowns and to demand operational changes from internet intermediaries that affect content flows and downstream uses (the deepfake training suits asked platforms to block training sources; here the Paris court orders DNS blocking and permits dynamic domain additions). The common thread is judicial willingness to impose duties that reach into infrastructure and dataset pipelines.

Both items show courts and litigation shaping what AI builders can do: the deepfake litigation asked judges to constrain training pipelines; these settlements are the first concrete legal resolutions holding chatbot providers accountable for real‑world harms and will similarly influence what companies must change (access controls, age gating, safety engineering). The actor connection: major AI platforms (Character.AI, Google) facing legal pressure that alters industry practices.

Both items concern courts using legal process to reach beyond mere takedowns and to constrain the marketplace and data pipelines that enable covert digital harms. The pcTattletale guilty plea (actor: Bryan Fleming; enforcer: HSI) complements the existing idea about judges being asked to restrict how platforms and uploaded content may be reused by downstream technologies (e.g., training models), because the conviction creates a prosecutorial and evidentiary precedent for targeting sellers, advertisers and hosting chains of covert‑surveillance software.

The Betty Boop dispute highlights the same legal leverage point — asking courts to cabin how cultural material is reused — that underlies lawsuits aiming to restrict platform content use for model training (e.g., deepfake cases).

Both items describe courts being asked to impose duties on digital intermediaries that reach into operational practices: the deepfake idea involves judges potentially limiting platform dataset use and training, and the Cox case asks whether courts may impose shutdown or damages obligations on ISPs based on users’ illicit uploads—each would redefine platform/ISP obligations and liability exposure.

Both pieces show courts and adjudicative regimes reshaping the rules that govern powerful modern institutions: the deepfake item describes courts imposing limits on platform training/data, while this article documents non‑Article III adjudication that effectively creates an internal judicial regime for agencies—a parallel concern about who adjudicates and how legal authority is exercised (actor: ALJs; evidence: PLF report of 960 ALJs/42 agencies).

The article reports record‑label takedowns and industry legal pressure that mirror the wider litigation strategy described in that idea: labels and rights organizations are using takedowns, chart withholding, and lawsuits to limit AI models trained on copyrighted sound recordings (here Suno) and to block releases that imitate living artists (Jorja Smith / The Orchard notices).
