The lawsuit demands over $10 billion in damages for unauthorized use of millions of copyrighted articles to train AI models by OpenAI and Microsoft.
- On Wednesday, Nov. 26, eight newspapers owned or managed by MediaNews Group filed a civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York naming OpenAI and Microsoft as defendants.
- Plaintiffs allege that OpenAI and Microsoft illegally harvested millions of copyrighted articles and engaged in book and article piracy to commercialize generative artificial intelligence products.
- The filing details that the 119-page complaint seeks in excess of $10,000,000,000 in damages, while discovery disputes include OpenAI's challenge over 20,000,000 output logs publishers seek.
- MNG officials said Frank Pine claims OpenAI and Microsoft are stealing their audience and undermining business, while both companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
