On September 15, 2026, Newsday and The Seattle Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in federal court, accusing the tech companies of using the publications' paywalled journalism to train AI models, adding to a growing legal battle over the use of copyrighted material for AI training data. Previously, on September 9, the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, was noted as a critical piece in the evolving legal discourse concerning AI training data, alleging that OpenAI and Microsoft utilized copyrighted and paywalled journalism without authorization to train AI systems including ChatGPT and Copilot. Newsday and The Seattle Times initially filed the suit on September 8, asserting that OpenAI and Microsoft infringed copyright by scraping their websites, including content behind paywalls, to incorporate articles into datasets for training and operating generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Bing's AI features, thereby enabling these products to reproduce or imitate copyrighted reporting and compete with the original news organizations.
