EU removes UAE from its 'high risk' money laundering list, adds Monaco and Lebanon.

The European Commission on Tuesday, June 10, announced the removal of removed UAE and seven other countries (Barbados, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Panama, the Philippines, Senegal and Uganda) from its money-laundering 'high-risk' list and added notably Monaco, Lebanon and eight other countries (Algeria, Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Laos, Namibia, Nepal and Venezuela) to that list.

EU’s move closely follows the actions taken by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Paris-based organisation that reviews anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing efforts of more than 200 countries and jurisdictions. FATF has included Monaco in its grey list since mid-2024, including the EU member states Bulgaria and Croatia.

Maria Luis Albuquerque, the EU's commissioner for financial services stated that "The commission has now presented an update to the EU list which reiterates our strong commitment to aligning with international standards, particularly those set by the FATF.” The European Commission has stated that a newly established EU list will be reviewed by the European Parliament and member states, and if no objections are raised within one month, it will enter into force.

Disney and Universal Pictures sue image creator Midjourney Official for copyright infringement.

Disney and Universal Pictures filed a lawsuit against Midjourney Official, a well-known AI image-generation platform. This marks the first instance of major Hollywood studios pursuing legal action against a generative AI company, highlighting growing concerns over how such technology might disrupt the entertainment industry.

The lawsuit, submitted to the federal district court in Los Angeles, alleges that Midjourney Official unlawfully accessed and reproduced extensive content from the two studios’ libraries. It claims the company created and distributed countless of unauthorized images of iconic characters, including Darth Vader from Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, Elsa from Frozen, and the Minions from Despicable Me.

Advancements in artificial intelligence have made it possible to generate high-quality visual content at unprecedented speed. While this technological progress is remarkable, it has sparked serious concerns within the entertainment industry. Studios fear that the widespread creation of unofficial content featuring well-known characters could harm the reputation of established franchises and weaken their creative control over these intellectual properties.

If you are interested on how you can protect your intellectual property, Paris Mavronichis & Co LLC would be delighted to assist you.

Welcome to the public domain, Mickey Mouse!

After being private property of Disney for almost a century, the copyrighted first versions of the iconic cartoon character, seen in “Steamboat Willie” and a silent version of “Plane Crazy”, published in 1928, have expired and have legally entered the public domain in the United States as of 1st January 2024.

Copyright protects creative works such as books, films, images, and songs from being copied without the permission of the work's creator and copyright holder. U.S. copyright laws grant the creator of content ownership for 95 years, which means famous works eventually enter the public domain. Legally, that means anyone could now copy and reproduce the 1928 version of Mickey Mouse without permission.

If you are interested on how you can protect your intellectual property, Paris Mavronichis & Co LLC would be delighted to assist you.
