In short, yes. From 2026, you’ll need to verify whether that content was legally reusable. Many are building automated crawlers to detect copyright reservations in metadata or robots.txt files.
Thank you!
This feels like GDPR all over again, first everyone ignores it, then everyone scrambles to comply in the last six months.
Exactly. The same pattern is repeating. Those who start documenting and auditing early will have the least friction when enforcement begins.
