A new study suggests that quantum computing will challenge copyright law and potentially lead to more copyright infringements. Faster computers will make it easier to track and trace legal owners, but also break older enforcement technologies. Content with quantum watermarks will be more protected, and existing artworks may be altered for AI-generated works. The nature of quantum computing leads to a paradox of more potential infringements and increased enforcement of copyright law. Quantum computers also pose challenges to copyright originality tests in terms of constantly evolving works.
