by authors, news organisations and musicians who accuse technology firms of using their copyrighted work to train AI services without permission or payment.

India has more than 690 million smartphone users thanks to cheap mobile data plans and OpenAI has said the country is a critical market.

Reuters was first to report the case filing by the news publishers, which escalates an ongoing legal battle against ChatGPT in India. In the most high-profile battle, local news agency ANI was first to file a lawsuit against OpenAI last year. Global and Indian

have also joined the lawsuit.
The 135-page case filing, which is not public but was reviewed by Reuters, argues OpenAI's conduct constitutes "a clear and present danger to the valuable copyrights" of Digital News Publishers Association (DNPA) members and other outlets.

It refers to OpenAI's "wilful scraping ... and adaptation of content", adding that "the disproportionate power of tech companies in prioritising content and extracting advertising revenue has raised concerns among publishers."
The filing was made by the Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Adani's NDTV and the DNPA, which represents roughly 20 companies including Mukesh Ambani Network18 and players like Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar, Zee News, India Today Group and the Hindu. Many of these outlets have a flourishing newspaper and television news business too.

in December 2023, accusing them of using millions of its articles without permission to train chatbots to provide information to users.
The new Indian intervention will add firepower to ANI's lawsuit against OpenAI in India's most high-profile legal proceedings on the issue.
A hearing in ANI's lawsuit against OpenAI is scheduled for Tuesday.

in a court filing reported by Reuters last week that any order to delete training data would result in a violation of its U.S. legal obligations, and Indian judges have no jurisdiction to hear a copyright case against the company as its servers are located abroad.
Reuters, which holds a 26% interest in ANI, has said in a statement it is not involved in ANI's business practices or operations.
In recent months, OpenAI has signed deals with Time magazine, the Financial Times, Business Insider-owner Axel Springer, France's Le Monde and Spain's Prisa Media to display content.

The Indian publishers in their new filing argue OpenAI has entered into partnership agreements with media outlets abroad, but has not entered into similar deals in India, hurting the media companies.
Such conduct by OpenAI "in India betrays an inexplicable defiance of the law," the Indian media outlets' filing said.
The publishers also said OpenAI was set to become a profit-driven business benefiting from the creative works of the media industry. This would result in a "weakened press" and would not be in the best interests of a vibrant democracy, their filing said.
OpenAI made its first India hire last year when it tapped a former WhatsApp executive, Pragya Misra, to handle public policy and partnerships in the country of 1.4 billion people.
"India is really important because it's the youngest demographic in the world ... we've seen massive uptake of ChatGPT, it's almost our second largest country in terms of users outside of the US," Misra said in a recent interview with AIM TV.

Interesting time for India to stab US in the back, considering what Modi said in the US just 4 months ago.

its make work jobs program in preparation for Indians failing to deliver US tech supremacy despite being wage slaves in America. Why would white supremacists tolerate Indians if they cannot keep America in top position, but rather act like parasites?

any American migrant to China must be female and under 25, and with a Chinese male partner to produce children; we will not tolerate leeches who contribute nothing to China.
