Fired Copyright Head Sues Trump Administration | JQJO

Shira Perlmutter, former head of the U.S. Copyright Office, sued the Trump administration after her dismissal. She claims her removal was unlawful, arguing only the Librarian of Congress can appoint and remove the Register of Copyrights. President Trump's appointment of a temporary replacement is also challenged as unauthorized. The lawsuit seeks to reinstate Perlmutter and prevent the acting Librarian from exercising their powers. This occurs amidst the Copyright Office's recent report on AI and copyright.
