President Trump fired the nation’s top copyright official — a move that critics say threatens the independence of the US Copyright Office and could upend efforts to regulate artificial intelligence companies’ use of protected material.
Shira Perlmutter, who has served as register of copyrights since 2020, was informed Saturday afternoon that her employment had been “terminated,” according to internal communications from the Library of Congress reviewed by Politico.
Her dismissal comes just two days after the White House fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the official responsible for appointing and overseeing the Copyright Office.
