Voss argued that this exemption was intended for limited private use, not for commercial exploitation by major corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-20-122405.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-20-122405.png 810w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-20-122405-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-20-122405-768x381.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A coalition of 15 cultural organizations has warned that the current draft rules undermine copyright protections, with German author Nina George describing the TDM exception as \u201cdevastating.\u201d Creators have no practical way to opt out of having their work used in AI training datasets, and companies are not required to disclose the content they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Commission has yet to respond to concerns raised in a December 2024 letter from cultural groups, prompting frustration among creatives.
