Canadian News and Media Companies Sue OpenAI for Copyright Infringement

A group of Canadian news and media companies recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the ChatGPT maker of copyright infringement and unjust enrichment. The companies involved in the lawsuit, including the Toronto Star, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and the Globe and Mail, are seeking monetary damages and a ban on OpenAI using their content.

The news companies claim that OpenAI has used content scraped from their websites to train its language models, such as ChatGPT. This content, according to the companies, represents a significant investment of time, effort, and resources from their journalists and staff.

In their lawsuit, the companies allege that OpenAI has unlawfully appropriated their intellectual property for its own commercial gain without permission or compensation. This legal action is part of a wider trend, with other entities such as The New York Times, New York Daily News, YouTube creators, and comedian Sarah Silverman also suing OpenAI for copyright infringement.

Despite signing licensing deals with some publishers, OpenAI has not compensated the Canadian news and media companies for the use of their content. The companies claim that OpenAI’s actions have resulted in inaccurate representations of their content in ChatGPT, as highlighted in a recent study by Columbia University’s Tow Center for Digital Journalism.

An OpenAI spokesperson defended the company’s practices, stating that ChatGPT serves millions of users worldwide and is based on publicly available data within the boundaries of fair use and international copyright principles. The spokesperson also emphasized OpenAI’s collaboration with news publishers and their ability to opt-out of having their content included in ChatGPT.
