In a complaint filed Thursday, May 22, Shira Perlmutter, who is presently still listed as Register of Copyrights on the U.S. Copyright Office website, told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that President Donald Trump’s controversial attempt to remove her from her post is “unlawful and ineffective.” The Trump Administration fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on May 9, two days before it fired Perlmutter. The day after Hayden was let go, the Copyright Office released a pre-publication edition of the third part in its series of reports exploring issues in copyright law in light of evolving artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
