Magnani Discusses NYT Copyright Suit

Tom Magnani, head of the firm's Technology Transactions practice and co-chair of the Technology, Media, & Telecommunications industry group, was featured in the Legaltech News article, "OpenAI Swings Wide in Its Motion to Dismiss NYT Copyright Suit." The article discusses The New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI, where it accused the AI startup for infringing on its copyrights by using millions of its articles to train AI technologies. OpenAI recently filed a motion to dismiss four of The Times's seven claims, including claims for direct infringement and unfair competition. The AI startup argued that the direct infringement claim is time-barred because it relates to training datasets that are more than three years old, and the unfair competition claim by misappropriation is preempted by the U.S. Copyright Act.
