legalcode-copyright-infringement-assessment

Assess copyright infringement risk across US, EU, and UK law. Use when determining whether a work infringes an existing copyright, evaluating defenses to an infringement claim, clearing a proposed use before publication or distribution, responding to a DMCA takedown or cease-and-desist letter, or advising on copyright risk in AI training datasets, sampling, digital media, software development, or creative works. Covers substantial similarity analysis, fair use four-factor evaluation (17 USC 107), EU InfoSoc Directive exceptions (2001/29/EC), UK fair dealing (CDPA 1988 ss.29–30A), de minimis use, independent creation defense, DMCA safe harbor (17 USC 512), statutory damages and willfulness (17 USC 504), and AI-generated content copyright. Also triggers when asked about parody, satire, remix, sampling, text and data mining, educational use, news reporting, or platform liability for user-generated content. Jurisdiction-agnostic workflow with deep US/EU/UK coverage.
