The Times, The Intercept, and AlterNet All Litigated in the New York Against Copyright Violation by Microsoft, OpenAI, and the Times
The counts of direct copyright violation in the Times are based on past acts of reproduction that occurred three years or more before this action. The court should dismiss allegations that OpenAI contributed to theinfringement, that it had failed to remove infringing information and that it created unfair competition by misappropriation. The Times lawsuit also alleges counts of trademark dilution, common law unfair competition by misappropriation, and a vicarious copyright infringement claim.
Ian Crosby was the lead counsel for The Times and he told The Verge that the outlet was simply looking for evidence that they stole and reproduced The Times’s copyrighted works. He added that OpenAI doesn’t deny “it copied Times works without permission within the statute of limitations.”
The Intercept, Raw Story, and AlterNet filed separate lawsuits in the Southern District of New York. All three cases are being litigated by the same law firm.
It is said that at some point in time, the publications will reproduce verbatim or nearly verbatim copyrighted works of journalism without giving author, title, copyright or terms of use information. According to the plaintiffs, if ChatGPT trained on material that included copyright information, the chatbot “would have learned to communicate that information when providing responses.”
Raw Story and AlterNet’s lawsuit goes further, saying OpenAI and Microsoft “had reason to know that ChatGPT would be less popular and generate less revenue if users believed that ChatGPT responses violated third-party copyrights.” Microsoft and OpenAI both give legal cover for paying customers if they get sued for violating copyrighted works.
