The New York Times has filed a motion to amend its copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, now alleging that Microsoft actively encouraged copyright infringement by building a bespoke supercomputer for OpenAI. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that raised the bar for contributory infringement claims, requiring proof of intentional inducement of illegal conduct.
The NYT seeks to align its claims against Microsoft with this new legal standard, citing evidence uncovered during discovery. A spokesperson stated the amendment aims to strengthen the case by clarifying the contributory infringement claim based on new law and evidence.
