Instead, it focused on the DMCA provision that protects “copyright management information.”
The publications argued that OpenAI removed author names, titles, and other metadata identifying its copyright from articles it used to train its LLMs. McMahon explained that the plaintiffs did not show that they suffered “recognizable harm” from those actions and that the harm they had cited “was not the type of harm that has been raised” to justify a lawsuit. The judge also said that “the likelihood of ChatGPT generating plagiarized content from one of (its) articles appears remote.” He added that the plaintiffs are really seeking relief for the use of their articles “to develop ChatGPT without compensation” and not for the removal of their copyright management information.
