In this episode, Peter Csathy's co-hosts discuss his new article titled, "Raw Deal: The OpenAI Court Got It Wrong - Raw Story Media's Lawsuit Was Wrongly Dismissed on 'Standing' Grounds". In his article, Csathy discusses the recent dismissal by a federal judge of Raw Story Media's lawsuit against OpenAI on "standing" grounds. Raw Story had alleged that OpenAI included Raw Story's content in its LLM training data set without consent — and stripped out its copyright management information (CMI) in violation of the DMCA (specific copyright provisions related to the digital era). The Court dismissed the case, because the Judge concluded that Raw Story Media had failed to allege any actionable “harm” or “injury.”

Csathy writes that OpenAI’s “big win” is a fleeting one that will be reversed if it gets to that point, because the Judge simply got it wrong as a matter of law. And he lays out in detail why that is the case.

In this episode, Peter Csathy's co-hosts discuss his article of the same title - including the key AI-related content licensing deals to date, and where things to be heading in the epic copyright infringement/"fair use" battles that increasingly fill the courts between major rights-holders and big tech.

Last week, host Peter Csathy wrote not once but twice about Perplexity in his companion newsletter. And for good reason. He first posted an analysis based on The New York Times’ recent “cease and desist” demand to Perplexity. And then News Corp actually filed formal litigation against Perplexity for similar reasons.

Perplexity responded to News Corp's litigation. Not in the actual courts. Rather, in the court of public opinion. It posted its response on its official blog. You can read its full response here. Suffice it to say, it’s exactly what you would expect it to be. And Peter gives his own response to Perplexity's response in this week's newsletter.

In this episode, our two synthetic co-hosts discuss Csathy's response in the overall context not only of the actual litigation, but in the overall Zeitgeist of generative AI and society. (Peter generated it by simply dropping the text of his "Open Letter" into Google's NotebookLM).

PETER'S NOTE: I "authorize" it. I've listened to the discussion. It is remarkably sophisticated in its discussion - and is worthwhile for listening.
