Online media - Copyright infringement claim
An insured who publishes articles and photos on a website has a higher volume of copyright infringement claims given the nature of their business. The insured was sensitive about eroding numerous deductibles by hiring counsel to defend them. We worked with the insured to allow them to do the initial contact and investigation with the claimant/claimant’s counsel, and many of the claims were resolved without the need for counsel. When counsel was necessary, we worked with the insured to retain counsel of their choice after negotiating rates.

Many generative-AI platforms are trained on insights from a range of data sources including pre-published information on the internet and beyond. By their nature, they are creating content, advice, and material that is likely to be generated from multiple sources.
Social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have provided individuals with a publishing reach far beyond that of traditional media.
In our increasingly online world, the ease with which anyone, regardless of expertise, can publish articles, podcasts and videos, creates new risks for content creators and publishers, particularly the risk of being held liable for another’s reliance on their content, potentially regardless of whether they intended for their audience to rely on it.
