The lawsuit claims that OpenAI's practices infringe on copyright protections and the terms of use set by publishers. The Canadian media group alleges that rather than seeking permission or adhering to paywalls and copyright notices, OpenAI has scraped vast amounts of their content for commercial advantage. They are demanding compensation of C$20,000 per article utilized, which could result in billions in damages, alongside an order forcing OpenAI to share profits derived from their content. This case parallels other high-profile lawsuits in the US, where similar allegations have been made by the New York Times and other prominent publishers. The implications of this lawsuit could have significant ramifications for how artificial intelligence interacts with copyrighted material in the future.
