Sound recording companies in India want to join a lawsuit against manufacturer Chatgpt Openai

The lawsuit really begins to recruit the Chatgpt Openai developer.

In 2023, a company that stands for the world’s most prominent chat was on many lawsuits of authors, including Sarah Silverman and John GrishamDue to its predictable use of copyright books. In their complaints, the authors stated that Chatgpt proposes detailed summary resumes of books protected from copyright, referring to this as proof that Openai used books to prepare his AI.

In November (2024) the German Music Collection of Royalty and the Licensed Body Dam filed a lawsuit with the company over allegedly unauthorized use of texts. Chatgpt “reproduce (ES) songs of songs by German authors, without having licenses or did not pay the relevant authors,” Gama said.

But this is not the end of the legal troubles of Openai. The company also faces a lawsuit on copyright in India, to which sound recordings seek to join.

Reits reports that Saregama, T-series and Indian music industry (Imi) went to the trial in New Dely on Thursday (February 13) to express anxiety about “unauthorized use of sound records” in teaching models of artificial intelligence Openai.

Music companies “concerned Openai and other AI systems can extract texts, musical compositions and audio records from the Internet,” – said the nameless source of the industry Reits.

Imi represents the interests of sound recordings in India. His membership also includes all three specialties (Sony Music, Warner music groupand Universal music) on the market.

The affirmation of music companies “are crucial for the entire musical industry in India and even all over the world,” they said in court, which is filed in the submission conducted Reits.

A claim in India that music companies want to join was originally brought in November Indian news agency Norwho argued that Openai used his content to prepare his si and searched for 20 million Rs ($ 230,000) in losses.

At the beginning of this month more than a dozen other news companies – including Indian express, Hinduist, India today media -groupand NDTV – filed also join the claim according to report from BBC.

India reportedly is the second largest Chatgpt market after the US.

Book publishers presented The Federation of Indian Book Publishers They also seek to join the suit. The Federation represents dozens of publishers including basic international names such as Flowering, Cambridge University Press, McGraw-Hill, The penguin is a random houseand Mili.

Just like lawsuits against OpenAi authors in the United States, publishers of the book point to detailed summary of the plot proposed by Chatgpt as proof that OpenAi used books protected by copyright to prepare his AI models.

Openai protects himself from accusations, claiming that he adheres to the principles of “fair use” and receives only public data. He also tried to reject the case, arguing that Indian courts were lacking jurisdiction as the company is in the headquarters in the United States. Lawyers quoted Reits said this defense is ancient because it failed for other technological companies such as Telegram.

Like the US, copyright legislation in India has a “fair use” or “fair agreement” that allows you to use copyright protected in certain limited circumstances. Experts of Indian law speak that fair use decisions are determined in each case, and the economic impact of unauthorized use plays a crucial role in their definition.


The claim in India is one of the increasing number of cases that are violated by copyright owners against AI generative companies. AnthropicManufacturer Chat -Chat, is Faced with the claim Brought by music publishers Universal, Concord and AbkkoIt claims that the chat -bot reproduced copyright without permission, and sometimes plagiarized these texts, passing them as original creations.

Sun and UdioTwo companies that offer a Musicaing service based on a subscription were filed a lawsuit last year According to sound recordings belonging to Sony Music, Universal music groupand Warner music group.

In all these cases, AI claimed fair use as part of their defense.

A recent US Federal Court’s decision to Delaware rejected the protection of fair use In AI training. In the case that brings a conglomerate of data and news Thomson Reuters The current legal database of AI, which has been eliminated, has ruled that the use of Thomson Reits’s content is not fair use against the current legal database service that has been eliminated.

However, the judge in this case emphasized that his decree was applied only to the unprofitable AI, not the generative AI, over which the copyright owners filed lawsuits against Openai, Suno, UDIO and others.Music business in the whole world
