The rapid increase in capabilities of generative artifical intelligence models — including large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and text-to-image models like OpenAI's DALL-E — has posed legal questions about how intellectual property law applies to the training and use of these models. OpenAI, which doubled the size of its legal team last year, has been faced with a number of lawsuits over copyright infringement and other damages.

This market only pertains to civil lawsuits in United States federal, state, and territorial courts against OpenAI. If judgement is entered in favor of the plaintiffs, the answer will resolve YES. If judgement is entered in favor of the defendant, OpenAI, or if the lawsuit is involuntarily dismissed, the answer will resolve NO. If the lawsuit results in a settlement, or is voluntarily dismissed, the answer will resolve N/A.

Each answer will refer only to the legal proceedings of one case in a single court. Appeals, retrails, remands, or other further legal proceedings will be included as separate answers if necessary. Please let me know in the comments if there is another lawsuit you would like to include as an answer.
