The New York Times has filed a motion to amend its copyright complaint against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that Microsoft constructed a bespoke supercomputer—among the world's most powerful—specifically to assist OpenAI in stealing the Times' copyrighted works. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that set a stricter standard for contributory infringement, requiring proof that parties intentionally induced illegal conduct.
The Times claims new evidence uncovered during discovery supports its revised allegation that Microsoft actively encouraged OpenAI's infringement. A spokesperson stated the amended complaint strengthens the case under the updated legal framework.
