Shira Perlmutter, the recently terminated director of the U.S. Copyright Office, has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and other government officials, challenging the legality of her dismissal. Perlmutter argues that her firing by email was unconstitutional and violated Congress' authority, asserting that only the Librarian of Congress has the power to remove the Register of Copyrights. The lawsuit seeks an emergency injunction to block her removal from office. A court hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday to consider a temporary restraining order that would prevent Todd Blanche, the acting Librarian of Congress, from exercising his powers. This legal dispute follows a recent AI copyright report that could have implications for major U.S. technology firms such as OpenAI and Meta.
