COPYRIGHT—N.D. Cal.: Digital

A federal court dismissed a lawsuit by digital artist Austin Beaulier against Roblox Corp. Beaulier alleged that Roblox removed copyright management information (CMI) from his 3D models used to train AI systems. The court ruled that Beaulier did not sufficiently prove intentional removal or distribution of CMI-stripped works. Roblox argued that the 'NoAI' tag did not qualify as CMI, but the court disagreed. The case was dismissed with leave to amend.
