SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 8 – Fiction writers and the Authors Guild have sued OpenAI and on November 29, 2024 the intial pre-trial conference was held before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Sidney H. Stein. Inner City Press was there, thread.
Jump cut to January 14, 2025, oral arguments, from the thread:
Media lawyer: Citing WireCutter may even cause more harm, if it falsely claims WireCutter recommendation, if the product gets recalled. We recommend Black Friday Sales - it is time sensitive. What is the relevant news cycle... We believe we can prove all elements
Judge Stein: Thanks- I have a lot to think about, you'll get an opinion in due course.
On October 8 Inner City Press live tweeted again, this time the argument on which versions of ChatGPT are in the case, thread.
Judge Stein said he will issue a bottom line order, but not right away.
One case is Authors Guild et al v. OpenAI Inc. et al., 23-cv-8292 (Stein)
