The Intercept\u2019s lawsuit argues that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act prevents OpenAI from stripping a story\u2019s title or byline. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

22 Nov 2024\u00a0<\/em>– In an order<\/span> today, a federal court rejected OpenAI\u2019s effort to toss a lawsuit filed by The Intercept over using its journalists\u2019 work to train ChatGPT without permission or credit.<\/p>\n

One of The Intercept\u2019s claims under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act will move forward against OpenAI, although another claim was dismissed, along with all of its claims against Microsoft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision shows that the DMCA provides critical safeguards for news organizations against encroachment by AI companies and presents a viable approach to challenging the unauthorized use of digital news content for AI training, regardless of whether that content has been registered with the Copyright Office,\u201d said Matt Topic, The Intercept\u2019s attorney in the litigation and a partner at law firm Loevy + Loevy, in a statement following the order.<\/p>\n

This is a \u201cfirst-of-its kind decision,\u201d according to Topic.<\/p>\n

The Intercept filed its lawsuit<\/a> against OpenAI and Microsoft in February, joining a growing number of media outlets that accuse the companies of various copyright violations. The Intercept offered a novel argument under a provision of the DMCA that forbids stripping out \u201ccopyright management information\u201d such as a work\u2019s title and author, which The Intercept alleges OpenAI did in building the training data for ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

In a brief order, Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York allowed this claim to proceed against OpenAI. Rakoff wrote<\/a> that a full opinion \u201cexplaining the reasons for this ruling will issue in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rakoff dismissed The Intercept\u2019s claim that OpenAI violated another provision of the DMCA,<\/ins> which prohibits distributing content knowing that this copyright management information was removed. He also dismissed The Intercept\u2019s claims against Microsoft under both DMCA provisions.<\/p>\n
