The Federation of Indian Publishers (FIP) has filed an impleadment application as a party in an existing suit filed by India’s Asian News International (ANI) against OpenAI last November. In that case, ANI has sought a preliminary injunction - and open arguments are scheduled to be heard tomorrow.
The request was filed on behalf of all the FIP’s members, including international publishers Bloomsbury Publishing India, Penguin Random House India, Cambridge University Press, and Pan Macmillan.
The FIP’s request follows a number of other actions filed before the Delhi High Court that deal with the issue of AI and deepfake copyright violations, including a petition by MASH AUDIO VISUALS PRIVATE LIMITED seeking the prohibition and punishment of the sale of AI-generated images that are created using the original works of artists without their permission. In that case, the plaintiffs are also seeking major amendments to India’s Copyright Act 1957 (see https://lnkd.in/eewi9KWE).
Pressure is mounting on OpenAI in courts across the world. The ANI case is the latest in a series brought against OpenAI for copyright infringement by media, news and publishing organisations – and marks yet another dispute filed outside the U.S.
