Canadian News Outlets Sue OpenAI for Copyright

News summary

A coalition of major Canadian news organizations, including CBC/Radio-Canada, the Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI for copyright infringement. The lawsuit, filed in Ontario's Superior Court of Justice, alleges that OpenAI has been unjustly enriched by scraping and using their content without authorization to train its ChatGPT model. The plaintiffs are seeking up to C$20,000 in damages per article, potentially amounting to billions. OpenAI, valued at over $150 billion, claims its practices fall under fair use and highlights its partnerships and opt-out options for publishers. The lawsuit adds to a growing trend of legal challenges against tech companies by media outlets over content usage. This case follows similar actions by other news organizations globally, including in the U.S.
