The Newspapers Are Right — And a Lawsuit Won't Save Them

POV — It's Not The Crime, It's The Cover-Up

The New York Times isn't just suing OpenAI for copyright infringement; they're asking a federal judge to punish them for allegedly hiding evidence. Peter Saddington dives into the incredible "own goal" story of OpenAI's supposed internal tool, 'Project Giraffe,' which allegedly used a "bloom filter" to catch its models regurgitating copyrighted content. The Times claims OpenAI collected millions of conversations to measure this infringement, then, after the lawsuit landed, deleted billions of those outputs and provided the court with unusable, blacked-out logs. This isn't just a legal battle; it's a shocking tale of self-sabotage that could redefine the future of AI. As Peter explains, it's not the initial "crime" that brings down giants, but the cover-up. Like Nixon and Martha Stewart, the alleged deletion and concealment of evidence by OpenAI imply intent and knowledge, completely undermining any fair use defense. This scandal goes far beyond one company; it poses a critical question for the entire AI industry: when your models are trained on the internet, who owns the work that comes out, and what happens when you're caught allegedly trying to hide how much of it is infringing? This video unpacks why these allegations could be a notarized confession, not just evidence, with monumental implications for every AI developer. ⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop [https://staas.fund/ai-workshop] ⚡ ----- 📱 Newsletter ★ https://theagilevc.substack.com/ [https://theagilevc.substack.com/] 📱 LinkedIn ★ http://linkedin.com/in/petersaddington [http://linkedin.com/in/petersaddington] 📱 Twitter ★ http://twitter.com/AgilePeter [http://twitter.com/AgilePeter] 🎧 Podcast ★ https://www.spreaker.com/user/thebitcoinlambo [https://www.spreaker.com/user/thebitcoinlambo] ___ FAIR USE NOTICE: For criticism, comment, teaching, scholarship and research.

The Newspapers Are Right — And a Lawsuit Won't Save Them

Everyone's calling the newspapers' AI lawsuit a "righteous battle" — a Seattle Times editor says the AI platforms are "peddling more stolen goods than a seedy pawnshop." On June 24th, 35 publishers behind nearly 400 community newspapers — led by Long Island's family-owned Richner Communications — sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement and for stripping the copyright info off their articles. The Council's read: they're right, and a lawsuit still won't save local news. A verdict is a toll booth, not a business model. The record labels sued Napster and basically won — and it still took Spotify, a license, a product, to save music, not the verdict. What actually killed local papers was the ad-model collapse; AI is just the next extraction layer. The move that survives: license the one thing a model can't fake — verified, on-the-ground local truth. Righteous is the floor, not the finish. ⚡ Learn agentic AI free — https://staas.fund/ai-workshop [https://staas.fund/ai-workshop] ⚡ ----- 📱 Newsletter ★ https://theagilevc.substack.com/ [https://theagilevc.substack.com/] 📱 LinkedIn ★ http://linkedin.com/in/petersaddington [http://linkedin.com/in/petersaddington] 🎧 Podcast ★ https://www.spreaker.com/user/thebitcoinlambo [https://www.spreaker.com/user/thebitcoinlambo] ___ FAIR USE NOTICE: For criticism, comment, teaching, scholarship and research.
