"Authors' Copyright Infringement Claims Against OpenAI Partially Dismissed"

A California court has partially dismissed a copyright case against OpenAI brought by authors, including Sarah Silverman, alleging that OpenAI’s ChatGPT is pirating their work. The court ruled to dismiss claims on vicarious copyright infringement, DMCA violations, negligence, and unjust enrichment, but upheld the unfair competition claim. The main complaint of direct copyright infringement remains, and the authors have until March 13th to file changes to their original complaint. OpenAI is facing multiple copyright infringement lawsuits from authors, including a proposed class action lawsuit and a lawsuit from The New York Times.
