New York Daily News and affiliated outlets accuse Microsoft of inducing copyright infringement in updated OpenAI lawsuit
Summary
MediaNews Group, Tribune Publishing, and the New York Daily News have amended their copyright lawsuit against OpenAI to allege that Microsoft actively encouraged users to plagiarize journalists' work via ChatGPT, citing an example where the chatbot told a user to "feel free to incorporate this information into your blog." The publishers argue this induces infringement, harms subscription and licensing revenue, and undermines writers' livelihoods, while OpenAI and Microsoft deny wrongdoing. The suit also dropped a contributory copyright claim, narrowing but not weakening the core allegations.
