Ziff Davis, the owner of media outlets such as IGN, Eurogamer, and Mashable, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging copyright infringement. The suit claims that OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has 'intentionally and relentlessly' violated Ziff Davis' copyrights by using their content to train AI models. Ziff Davis also accuses OpenAI of DMCA violations, unjust enrichment, trademark dilution, and removing copyright management information (CMI) from their works. This legal action is part of a broader trend where publishers are struggling to protect their content from being scraped by AI companies. Despite efforts to block AI bots using tools like robots.txt files, many AI companies continue to access and use copyrighted material without permission. Ziff Davis has demanded a permanent halt to any activities it deems exploitative of its copyrighted works, the destruction of all OpenAI datasets, models, products, and services trained or built using that content, and financial compensation. In a related development, the case of Kadrey v. Meta, which involves the use of copyrighted material from the shadow library LibGen to train AI models, is set to be a significant test of the fair use argument in AI copyright battles. This case will be heard in a San Francisco courtroom, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal disputes over AI and copyright.
