EU Court Adviser Says Google’s Gemini May Breach Copyright

The significance here is procedural as much as legal: an adviser's opinion at the EU's top court carries weight in shaping how copyright applies to AI systems that surface news content, and this case tests that question against a chatbot rather than a search index. It matters most to publishers and to AI developers building on third-party text, since the outcome could influence how such systems are licensed or sourced across the bloc. Whether the court follows the adviser's view, and how narrowly any ruling is framed, is the open question worth watching.
