Canada’s leading news media companies launch legal action against OpenAI
Torstar, Postmedia, The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, and CBC/Radio-Canada filed a legal action against OpenAI. News media companies invest hundreds of millions of dollars into reporting Canadians’ critical stories, undertaking investigations and original reporting, and distributing media in both official languages in every province and territory across this country. The content that Canadian news media companies produce is fact-checked, sourced and reliable, producing trusted news and information by, for, and about Canadians. This requires significant investment, and the content produced by news media companies is copyrighted. News Media Companies welcome technological innovations. However, all participants must follow the law, and any use of intellectual property must be on fair terms.
