Major Indian music labels, including T-Series, Saregama, and Sony Music, have filed to join the ongoing copyright lawsuit against OpenAI in the Delhi High Court. This development adds significant weight to the legal challenge initiated by news agency ANI in November 2024. The music companies allege that OpenAI has used their copyrighted content without permission to train its AI models, including ChatGPT. This move aligns with a global trend of content creators and publishers taking legal action against AI firms for alleged copyright infringement. OpenAI maintains that it uses only publicly available data in compliance with fair use principles, setting the stage for a landmark case that could shape AI regulations in India and potentially influence similar disputes worldwide.
