""Both the memorisation in the language models and the reproduction of the song lyrics in the chatbot's outputs constitute infringements of copyright law," the court ruled."
"GEMA, which represents more than 100,000 composers, songwriters and publishers, accused OpenAI of reproducing protected song lyrics without having purchased licences or paid the creators."
"In a statement on Tuesday, OpenAI said that "we disagree" with the ruling and that the company was "considering next steps"."
""We respect the rights of creators and content owners and are having productive conversations with many organisations around the world, so that they can also benefit from the opportunities of this technology.""
A Munich court found OpenAI not entitled to use song lyrics to train its chat models without licences and ordered compensation to the affected artists. The court held that both memorisation within language models and reproduction of song lyrics in chatbot outputs constitute copyright infringements. The case was filed by GEMA on behalf of songwriters behind nine German songs. GEMA accused OpenAI of reproducing protected lyrics without licences or payments. OpenAI argued models do not store or copy specific data and that users produce outputs, but said it disagrees with the ruling and is considering next steps.
