In a digital world where "copy-paste" is the default setting, what content is legally protected and what isn't? From AI-generated imagery to the hidden licensing traps of stock photos, businesses are unknowingly sitting on, or infringing upon, massive intellectual property (IP) risks.



Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi from Halim Hong & Quek join Tech Talk to discuss the current state of Malaysian copyright law, break down why the "IP by Design" philosophy is the only way to protect your business, and the legal grey areas of AI-generated content, which current looks to be not a copyright.



Tune in to find out:


The AI Ownership Crisis: Why content purely generated by Gemini or ChatGPT might lack legal protection, and the "untested" threshold for human authorship in AI-assisted work.


Idea vs. Expression: The critical legal boundary, why you can’t copyright a "good idea," but you can copyright the second it’s written down.


The Enforcement Playbook: When to send a C&D—and when takedowns actually work


The Hidden Risk: Why “anything online is free” could cost your business


The IP-by-Design Strategy: How to protect assets before they’re exposed


The Scraping Shield: How digital creators can use robots.txt as a technical signal to opt-out of AI model training.
