1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,067 So today I am talking about a topic that wasn't even on my radar 18 months ago, 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,827 and that is AI or artificial intelligence. 3 00:00:10,086 --> 00:00:13,437 But here I am, because I am a copyright lawyer. 4 00:00:13,631 --> 00:00:17,041 And copyright law is AI's battlefield. 5 00:00:17,041 --> 00:00:18,761 I've read that recently and I loved it. 6 00:00:18,761 --> 00:00:19,651 It is so true. 7 00:00:19,866 --> 00:00:25,791 There are so many issues that are being, battled over, currently in court, 8 00:00:25,931 --> 00:00:31,801 regarding AI and the issues are copyright issues, and there's still many questions 9 00:00:31,871 --> 00:00:38,309 to be answered about how AI AI will affect the application of copyright law 10 00:00:38,504 --> 00:00:45,429 to both the inputs, the outputs, as well as, the issue of copyrightability, which 11 00:00:45,429 --> 00:00:46,629 is what we're going to talk about today. 12 00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:51,326 So some of the questions that we're fighting over right now, fair use, 13 00:00:51,712 --> 00:00:56,526 whether or not those inputs are fair use, we're, Arguing about, do we need 14 00:00:56,526 --> 00:01:01,539 to get licenses for everything that goes into those massive training data sets? 15 00:01:01,791 --> 00:01:05,499 And if the answer that is yes, well, how could we possibly get 16 00:01:05,681 --> 00:01:08,039 licenses for all of those things? 17 00:01:08,289 --> 00:01:12,286 if we believe that as a matter of public policy, we want to make sure that. 18 00:01:12,286 --> 00:01:17,572 Copyright owners retain some control over and are compensated 19 00:01:17,572 --> 00:01:19,839 for their intellectual property. 20 00:01:19,849 --> 00:01:23,516 And we put some sort of compulsory licensing program in place. 21 00:01:23,789 --> 00:01:24,906 Who administers it? 22 00:01:24,916 --> 00:01:26,796 how do you value these things? 23 00:01:27,039 --> 00:01:29,659 there's a million questions to be answered. 24 00:01:30,286 --> 00:01:33,376 Today, we will answer just one of them. 25 00:01:33,576 --> 00:01:38,002 So first things first, which is the issue that probably most of you 26 00:01:38,092 --> 00:01:44,282 are struggling with is Is your AI generated content copyrightable? 27 00:01:44,422 --> 00:01:47,472 Can you get protection for it under U. 28 00:01:47,472 --> 00:01:47,702 S. 29 00:01:47,822 --> 00:01:49,212 copyright laws? 30 00:01:49,432 --> 00:01:53,882 Now I've done a few episodes about copyrightability and I 31 00:01:53,912 --> 00:01:56,702 addressed AI very briefly in them. 32 00:01:56,732 --> 00:02:02,876 So if you want kind of an overall look at what works and, are available 33 00:02:02,876 --> 00:02:08,362 for copyright protection, check out episode 71 and 73 where I talk about 34 00:02:08,539 --> 00:02:13,106 the requirements of originality and creativity and what would cause a 35 00:02:13,106 --> 00:02:14,696 work to be in the public domain. 36 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:18,019 So those are your general conversations about copyright ability. 37 00:02:18,202 --> 00:02:22,917 but today we will talk specifically about the issue Regarding needing 38 00:02:22,917 --> 00:02:27,394 to be created by a human, and that is the big issue regarding copyright 39 00:02:27,394 --> 00:02:30,207 ability with AI generated content. 40 00:02:30,421 --> 00:02:33,998 So just make sure I don't confuse you with the term copyright ability, 41 00:02:34,164 --> 00:02:38,884 that simply means that a work is eligible for copyright protection. 42 00:02:38,884 --> 00:02:40,234 Is it copyrightable? 43 00:02:40,398 --> 00:02:44,813 Is it eligible for copyright protection and under us copyright 44 00:02:44,813 --> 00:02:50,243 law, copyright protection is granted only to works created by humans that 45 00:02:50,243 --> 00:02:54,403 satisfy the threshold requirements for originality and creativity. 46 00:02:54,589 --> 00:03:02,809 And so it is, well long held under us law and confirmed by courts that the idea 47 00:03:02,809 --> 00:03:06,039 behind our copyright laws is to reward. 48 00:03:06,236 --> 00:03:11,603 Called man, but man or women, the, know, exclusive domain and the ability to profit 49 00:03:11,603 --> 00:03:16,989 from the product of their intellect, the product of the human creativity. 50 00:03:17,119 --> 00:03:21,759 And so specifically these exclusive rights that we get under copyright law. 51 00:03:22,063 --> 00:03:24,434 Attached to humans only. 52 00:03:24,553 --> 00:03:27,908 Now you can sell them, of course, to an organization. 53 00:03:28,093 --> 00:03:34,321 But the idea was to allow man or woman to profit from their own genius or intellect. 54 00:03:34,553 --> 00:03:35,183 while. 55 00:03:35,344 --> 00:03:40,981 This issue of AI generated content, is it created by human or not, 56 00:03:41,148 --> 00:03:42,998 lots of conversation about it. 57 00:03:43,151 --> 00:03:46,238 However, this is not a new issue. 58 00:03:46,248 --> 00:03:52,904 The issue of whether or not, content that, is copyrightable based on the human 59 00:03:52,904 --> 00:03:57,186 creativity, factor is a An old issue. 60 00:03:57,411 --> 00:04:03,559 So many of you may recall, a photograph taken by a monkey. 61 00:04:03,739 --> 00:04:06,598 So it was a macka who took a selfie. 62 00:04:06,765 --> 00:04:08,215 this was 2011. 63 00:04:08,335 --> 00:04:09,715 I mean, it is grinning. 64 00:04:09,715 --> 00:04:10,735 It's the craziest. 65 00:04:11,075 --> 00:04:15,008 Photograph because he has to know he's taking a photograph of himself. 66 00:04:15,008 --> 00:04:19,647 Otherwise he's just maybe just enjoying the camera, but it's the best selfie ever. 67 00:04:19,677 --> 00:04:20,976 Gritting like crazy. 68 00:04:21,130 --> 00:04:23,848 perfect, clarity, just everything. 69 00:04:24,016 --> 00:04:29,546 You couldn't have a better, posed photograph than this and so it was taken 70 00:04:29,642 --> 00:04:35,994 by this macaque using the camera equipment of a wildlife photographer who'd come. 71 00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,530 don't recall if he'd left it there intentionally. 72 00:04:38,764 --> 00:04:42,767 hoping they would do this, or if he just kind of went to get lunch 73 00:04:42,767 --> 00:04:43,757 or something and he picked up. 74 00:04:43,931 --> 00:04:51,703 So anyway, it was, the subject of a series of cases that lasted almost a decade 75 00:04:51,898 --> 00:04:57,430 regarding the copyright status of these selfies taken, by these monkeys using 76 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,930 equipment of this wildlife photographer. 77 00:05:00,149 --> 00:05:04,056 And so there were a couple of publishers, some websites, and blogs 78 00:05:04,292 --> 00:05:06,260 that published the photographs. 79 00:05:06,646 --> 00:05:11,024 and the photographer said, no, you have to take them down. 80 00:05:11,024 --> 00:05:14,211 Um, I have the copyright in those and these publishers 81 00:05:14,211 --> 00:05:15,551 were like, Nope, we don't. 82 00:05:15,571 --> 00:05:19,602 There's no copyright protection in photographs, created by animals. 83 00:05:19,876 --> 00:05:24,212 And so there was that level where the photographer's name was Slater. 84 00:05:24,393 --> 00:05:27,865 The photographer's suing everybody who's using the 85 00:05:27,865 --> 00:05:29,795 photograph without his permission. 86 00:05:30,026 --> 00:05:34,095 And then PETA, Stepson, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, 87 00:05:34,345 --> 00:05:38,342 Stepson argues that the copyright should be assigned to the macaque. 88 00:05:39,069 --> 00:05:43,525 So, Slater, the photographer, says, I have the copyright because 89 00:05:43,535 --> 00:05:45,255 I engineered the situation. 90 00:05:45,369 --> 00:05:46,104 I engineered the situation. 91 00:05:46,108 --> 00:05:48,688 Traveled there I befriended the macaques. 92 00:05:48,979 --> 00:05:51,465 they were comfortable around by equipment. 93 00:05:51,633 --> 00:05:54,752 And he says that he set up his equipment in such a way that 94 00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:56,812 the selfie might come about. 95 00:05:57,010 --> 00:06:02,877 And so the, Wikipedia and, some other, image libraries said, no, 96 00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:06,697 non, there's no such thing as a non human creator having a copyright. 97 00:06:06,737 --> 00:06:09,544 And so it's in the public domain and we can use it. 98 00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:15,202 PETA steps in to try to create a precedent that, legal precedent that animals 99 00:06:15,202 --> 00:06:18,072 should be declared copyright holders. 100 00:06:18,314 --> 00:06:24,484 And PETA sued the photographer since he was claiming copyright ownership and, 101 00:06:24,577 --> 00:06:29,694 had published a book, that contained the image the copyright should vest in 102 00:06:29,704 --> 00:06:35,242 the, Monkey, and that PETA should be appointed the administrator and that 103 00:06:35,242 --> 00:06:41,919 all proceeds from exploiting would then go to a trust that's set up for 104 00:06:42,087 --> 00:06:44,376 the benefit of endangered species. 105 00:06:44,874 --> 00:06:48,756 And, the copyright office said, no, a photograph taken by a 106 00:06:48,756 --> 00:06:51,356 monkey cannot be copyrighted. 107 00:06:51,512 --> 00:06:55,729 And then that has been affirmed by federal court. 108 00:06:55,939 --> 00:07:00,459 So in other words, those selfies taken by the macaque. 109 00:07:00,691 --> 00:07:04,724 Are in the public domain, they are not copyrightable and therefore they 110 00:07:04,724 --> 00:07:08,284 are in the public domain and in the public domain means that it's not 111 00:07:08,294 --> 00:07:10,094 protected by intellectual property. 112 00:07:10,291 --> 00:07:12,811 So anyone can use it. 113 00:07:13,036 --> 00:07:17,997 we have our selfie taking monkey, but there are some other examples. 114 00:07:18,217 --> 00:07:23,554 Of creations that are creative, I should say content that was creative, 115 00:07:23,762 --> 00:07:28,034 but not created by humans that did not get copyright protection. 116 00:07:28,244 --> 00:07:31,991 So other examples, a mural painted by an elephant. 117 00:07:32,001 --> 00:07:33,521 Some of you may have seen that. 118 00:07:33,521 --> 00:07:37,851 I know elephants are known for their paintings, which is kind of interesting. 119 00:07:38,047 --> 00:07:42,254 someone who claimed copyright protection over the appearance 120 00:07:42,324 --> 00:07:45,154 of an actual animal skin to not. 121 00:07:45,314 --> 00:07:48,871 An artistically created one, but trying to get copyright protection of an 122 00:07:48,881 --> 00:07:55,334 actual animal skin denied driftwood that was shaped and smoothed by the ocean. 123 00:07:55,554 --> 00:07:59,597 seen driftwood, some of it is certainly very sculptural, beautiful, 124 00:07:59,754 --> 00:08:04,161 but you cannot, but there's no human element in the creation of driftwood. 125 00:08:05,104 --> 00:08:09,831 and then there was an application for a song that named the Holy 126 00:08:09,881 --> 00:08:12,281 Spirit as the author of the work. 127 00:08:12,444 --> 00:08:13,054 And. 128 00:08:13,321 --> 00:08:16,652 The copyright office did not find the Holy Spirit to be human, and 129 00:08:16,652 --> 00:08:19,229 so it was not, copyrightable. 130 00:08:19,406 --> 00:08:21,176 And so the song is in the public domain. 131 00:08:21,181 --> 00:08:22,908 I'm curious about what the song is. 132 00:08:23,122 --> 00:08:29,398 even before a, I, there's a corollary that involves technology for things like 133 00:08:29,438 --> 00:08:34,025 a mechanical process where something happens without any human intervention. 134 00:08:34,201 --> 00:08:36,718 For instance, when we, transfer. 135 00:08:36,905 --> 00:08:41,683 A motion picture from VHS to DVD that is not create a new 136 00:08:41,683 --> 00:08:43,823 work, that is copyrightable. 137 00:08:44,003 --> 00:08:46,316 And, , I've talked about dash cams. 138 00:08:46,656 --> 00:08:48,356 I am curious about that. 139 00:08:48,553 --> 00:08:50,943 I've seen a couple of different interpretations. 140 00:08:51,113 --> 00:08:55,033 Like if I have a ring camera, it's maybe a dash cam, but let's say a 141 00:08:55,033 --> 00:08:59,893 ring camera, which literally I set it up so I can see who's at my door. 142 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,310 but it captures. 143 00:09:01,501 --> 00:09:03,491 bears playing outside of people. 144 00:09:03,491 --> 00:09:04,611 We see this all the time. 145 00:09:04,783 --> 00:09:07,465 Look, you know, who was playing outside on the swing sale last night. 146 00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:14,513 And people publish it is that copyrightable and arguably it is not 147 00:09:14,553 --> 00:09:20,207 because where was the human intervention where is the element of human intellect 148 00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:24,890 or human genius that went into creating that ring camera footage. 149 00:09:25,093 --> 00:09:29,652 And so that brings us up to AI generated works. 150 00:09:29,837 --> 00:09:31,498 Now, there is no doubt. 151 00:09:31,498 --> 00:09:37,315 I mean, if we've seen both AI generated images and entire videos that were 152 00:09:37,315 --> 00:09:42,213 created by 100 percent AI generated videos, writings, posts, all sorts of 153 00:09:42,213 --> 00:09:44,103 things that are 100 percent AI generated. 154 00:09:44,328 --> 00:09:45,413 So there's no. 155 00:09:45,562 --> 00:09:51,142 Issue about their creativity when it's generative AI, they are creating 156 00:09:51,142 --> 00:09:53,852 something that wasn't there before. 157 00:09:54,035 --> 00:09:57,745 And so it is something new that's being put into the universe. 158 00:09:58,022 --> 00:09:59,232 and we are, kind of. 159 00:09:59,417 --> 00:10:04,865 Reacting to it as if this is something new, but as we just went over, it really 160 00:10:04,995 --> 00:10:12,305 isn't new that we have had in place and copyright law has been drafted and prior 161 00:10:12,467 --> 00:10:17,922 court decisions have addressed the issue of whether or not something that is 162 00:10:17,922 --> 00:10:25,960 not created by a human can be And that applies to AI generated content as well. 163 00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:29,877 I was reading an opinion piece put out by the American Intellectual 164 00:10:29,877 --> 00:10:34,474 Property Law Association, where they said, we believe that copyright law 165 00:10:34,484 --> 00:10:39,364 has generally been applied correctly to AI in that copyright protection is 166 00:10:39,384 --> 00:10:44,337 granted only to works created by humans that satisfy the threshold requirements 167 00:10:44,347 --> 00:10:49,962 for originality And creativity, but they also note that this is getting 168 00:10:49,962 --> 00:10:57,515 a little bit fuzzier because of the generative and creative aspects of a eye. 169 00:10:57,710 --> 00:11:01,440 at the end of the day, we have an input being put in by a human, 170 00:11:01,635 --> 00:11:05,787 and we have an output that is being somehow utilized by human. 171 00:11:05,837 --> 00:11:07,377 Generally, there's still some human. 172 00:11:07,562 --> 00:11:09,317 Stuff happening on either end of that. 173 00:11:09,525 --> 00:11:14,950 And so we have this fuzziness that we don't have with say, you know, the 174 00:11:14,950 --> 00:11:17,334 driftwood or with the monkey even. 175 00:11:17,579 --> 00:11:23,080 And so we can't look at all AI generated content the same, and 176 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,754 we will find that the copyright office as well as it is being asked. 177 00:11:28,259 --> 00:11:33,075 To a pine about, works that are being registered in the copyright 178 00:11:33,075 --> 00:11:36,519 office, whether or not they're going to accept it for registration. 179 00:11:36,685 --> 00:11:40,069 They also have to look at the spectrum 180 00:11:40,209 --> 00:11:45,405 Of how much of that content, how much of that work was a I generated. 181 00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:50,205 And so when we think about 3 distinct categories, or maybe more of them, but 182 00:11:50,205 --> 00:11:54,602 let's talk about 3 distinct categories as of today of works that are generated 183 00:11:54,612 --> 00:11:58,665 using a I technology and they would have. 184 00:11:58,874 --> 00:12:02,067 Different treatment, depending on which category they fall into. 185 00:12:02,441 --> 00:12:05,541 So, let's start with AI as a tool. 186 00:12:05,721 --> 00:12:10,201 this is the scenario where AI assists the human creator. 187 00:12:10,484 --> 00:12:15,964 So, let's think of Photoshop, or let's think of a proofreading 188 00:12:15,964 --> 00:12:18,781 software, such as Hemingway Editor. 189 00:12:19,028 --> 00:12:23,738 it is taking what the human created, and you're using technology. 190 00:12:23,885 --> 00:12:28,553 Do help, massage it, improve it in some way, but at the end of the day, it is the 191 00:12:28,553 --> 00:12:34,958 human who is the creator when, Hemingway editor has this definition, need a 192 00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:37,358 quick way to proofread your writing. 193 00:12:37,531 --> 00:12:40,030 Hemingway Editor Plus is here to help. 194 00:12:40,030 --> 00:12:44,713 It uses AI to fix common grammatical issues and spelling mistakes. 195 00:12:44,968 --> 00:12:46,300 And it doesn't stop there. 196 00:12:46,481 --> 00:12:50,820 Hemingway Editor Plus also has advanced features to fix wordy 197 00:12:50,830 --> 00:12:53,656 sentences, passive voice, and more. 198 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,620 So here, It is a proofreader. 199 00:12:56,620 --> 00:13:00,143 It's not generative, but it is, helping. 200 00:13:00,173 --> 00:13:05,003 So it's taking your own thoughts and helping make it, less wordy and read 201 00:13:05,003 --> 00:13:06,653 a little bit more like Hemingway. 202 00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:12,813 And so when we use AI as a tool, that is something that traditionally we 203 00:13:12,813 --> 00:13:14,643 have not needed to clear with the U. 204 00:13:14,643 --> 00:13:14,743 S. 205 00:13:14,783 --> 00:13:18,862 Copyright Office as being A co author and I'm using that term just 206 00:13:18,872 --> 00:13:22,205 to distinguish it from the other types of AI generated content. 207 00:13:22,499 --> 00:13:26,532 So, our proof reading software is not a co editor of that. 208 00:13:26,532 --> 00:13:30,069 It did help, make it a little more readable, smooth it around the edges, 209 00:13:30,089 --> 00:13:34,909 fix grammatical mistakes, but it is not a co author of that work. 210 00:13:35,057 --> 00:13:41,186 And so that work would be copyrightable As defined today on the other end of the 211 00:13:41,186 --> 00:13:46,723 spectrum would be as the sole author, and this is probably something you've 212 00:13:46,723 --> 00:13:54,775 heard about recently the artwork that was created 100 percent by an AI tool, and 213 00:13:54,785 --> 00:13:57,675 there was no human authorship whatsoever. 214 00:13:57,833 --> 00:13:58,938 And in fact, the. 215 00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:04,348 Owner of it, tried to claim that he owned it as a work for hire 216 00:14:04,516 --> 00:14:09,408 and that the contractor that created it for him was his AI tool. 217 00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:12,765 And so it would be copyrightable and the U. 218 00:14:12,765 --> 00:14:12,975 S. 219 00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:14,695 Copyright office rejected. 220 00:14:14,735 --> 00:14:16,748 the registration said it is not. 221 00:14:16,925 --> 00:14:20,016 Copyrightable, not eligible for copyright protection because it 222 00:14:20,016 --> 00:14:22,940 was created 100 percent by AI. 223 00:14:23,167 --> 00:14:29,050 So AI is the sole author and therefore it is not eligible for copyright protection. 224 00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:33,437 So those are the kind of, AI as a tool versus AI as sole author. 225 00:14:33,605 --> 00:14:39,943 But of course, what we're worried about is what is in the middle, AI as co author. 226 00:14:40,219 --> 00:14:45,012 these are the more complex cases where AI collaborates with the 227 00:14:45,012 --> 00:14:49,984 human contributes significantly to some of the creative output. 228 00:14:50,184 --> 00:14:54,434 So these are things like chat GBT, which I'm most familiar with, where you 229 00:14:54,434 --> 00:14:59,857 can put in an outline, say, I want to, write a blog post that covers all these 230 00:14:59,887 --> 00:15:05,600 things, write a 500 word blog post for me, and then it, Writes it for you. 231 00:15:05,887 --> 00:15:11,920 there's no doubt that there is creativity involved because, hallucinations, 232 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,550 funnily enough, are its own proof that what AI is doing is creative. 233 00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:18,360 It is making stuff up. 234 00:15:18,530 --> 00:15:18,860 Right. 235 00:15:19,194 --> 00:15:27,675 what happens when we have output that was partly us partly, and so 236 00:15:27,675 --> 00:15:29,755 what has happened to date with the U. 237 00:15:29,755 --> 00:15:29,845 S. 238 00:15:29,875 --> 00:15:35,467 Copyright office is that they will protect the parts that Involve human creativity 239 00:15:35,629 --> 00:15:42,570 and you exclude the parts that are created by a I sometimes that's pretty simple. 240 00:15:42,580 --> 00:15:46,240 Sometimes that's a little bit harder and like many things. 241 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,950 Unfortunately, there is not a black and white answer. 242 00:15:49,102 --> 00:15:54,140 It's all gray area and it will be determined on a case by case basis. 243 00:15:54,405 --> 00:16:00,340 But it is important to know that you do need, if you want to ensure protection, 244 00:16:00,512 --> 00:16:04,807 that you will need to disclose that, if it is later determined that this 245 00:16:04,807 --> 00:16:09,394 was completely AI generated, because, obviously there are records, of AI 246 00:16:09,394 --> 00:16:13,680 generated content, and you tried to register it as original, you would clearly 247 00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:15,420 lose your copyright protection for that. 248 00:16:15,704 --> 00:16:19,224 So, the takeaway here is that you must be sure. 249 00:16:19,371 --> 00:16:27,064 To layer on enough human creativity to any AI generated content to make sure that it 250 00:16:27,064 --> 00:16:29,474 will be eligible for copyright protection. 251 00:16:29,658 --> 00:16:34,115 If you are creating content, such as a book or a course that you want to 252 00:16:34,115 --> 00:16:38,161 make sure that you have the exclusive rights to it, and that somebody else 253 00:16:38,371 --> 00:16:43,206 can use it only with your permission, then it has to be copyrightable. 254 00:16:43,256 --> 00:16:46,401 It has to be eligible for protection under U. 255 00:16:46,401 --> 00:16:46,541 S. 256 00:16:46,551 --> 00:16:47,671 copyright laws. 257 00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:52,312 If it is not, if it doesn't involve sufficient amount of human creativity 258 00:16:52,497 --> 00:16:57,071 and it ends up in the public domain, then it is free for anyone to use. 259 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:04,472 So it is, in our interests to make sure as we're developing assets in our business 260 00:17:04,482 --> 00:17:08,096 that we can use to create leverage in our business, we want to make sure 261 00:17:08,253 --> 00:17:10,249 that we own that stuff exclusively. 262 00:17:10,466 --> 00:17:15,016 So anything that you're thinking may turn into an asset that you 263 00:17:15,016 --> 00:17:19,692 can use to create leverage, make sure you own that exclusively, make 264 00:17:19,692 --> 00:17:22,643 sure that Asset is copyrightable. 265 00:17:22,933 --> 00:17:25,516 that is for use inside your business. 266 00:17:25,816 --> 00:17:29,676 , there'll be a future episode, probably if not the next one, the one after that, 267 00:17:29,790 --> 00:17:34,466 where I'll talk about the issues with third parties, if you are creating. 268 00:17:34,610 --> 00:17:39,156 AI generated content and you're using him to meet contractual obligations, 269 00:17:39,446 --> 00:17:43,680 such as client agreements, that the issues that can arise there. 270 00:17:43,803 --> 00:17:45,043 So stay tuned for that. 271 00:17:45,251 --> 00:17:47,930 And of course, if you have any questions, you know where to find 272 00:17:47,930 --> 00:17:50,663 me and don't forget IP is fuel.
