First case on AI and copyright referred to the CJEU
Most people who have been paying attention to the copyright and AI debate in Europe has been expecting that at some point the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) would be tasked with interpreting some of the existing exceptions regarding text and data mining.

Activists and publishers commonly cite DCMS arguing that the creative sector contributes 125bn in value" / X

First AI fair use ruling, but probably of little predictive value for the big pending genAI cases, as it involved an AI developer that copied Westlaw headnotes to train a legal research model to directly compete with Westlaw (at least that's how the court describes it).

Prediction: lawsuits over data scraping will be litigation trench warfare, where sapping your adversary's resources is at least as important as prevailing. Example: X v. Bright Data.
