An artist who infamously duped an art contest with an AI image is suing the U.S. Copyright Office over its refusal to register the image’s copyright.

In the lawsuit, Jason M. Allen asks a Colorado federal court to reverse the Copyright Office’s decision on his artwork Theatre D’opera Spatialbecause it was an expression of his creativity.

Reuters says the Copyright Office refused to comment on the case while Allen in a statement complains that the office’s decision “put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

      What an asshole. You inserted yourself into this convo, in a fucking obnoxious way, insult me throughout and then you bitch out when you get called out. Yeah, fuck right off and don’t bother me again unless you’ve got something actually worthwhile to say.

          You really that oblivious to your own actions?

          • You butted yourself into this discussion by literally spamming me. Asshole behavior.
          • You then insulted me every chance you get. Asshole behavior.
          • You then act like I strawmanned your argument. Disrespectful behavior.
          • You literally said someone is not a musician if they’re too lazy to play an instrument. Asshole behavior.
          • And your whole argument is about trying to dictate what is or isn’t art which by nature is asshole behavior.

          Your decision to not argue with me has had no impact on you being an asshole, you were one before and you’ll continue being one afterwards.
