COPIED Act Making Removing Digital Watermarks Illegal

A new bipartisan bill is trying to protect journalists and artists by making it illegal to remove digital watermarks from their work.

Plus, it mandates that AI tools allow content creators to attach origin information and prohibit its removal — like meta-data on steroids.

Violators can be sued by content owners, with enforcement also possible by state attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission.
