[subscription] The New York Times and co-plaintiff newspapers filed for sanctions against OpenAI on July 9, 2026, in a copyright infringement case originally filed in 2023. The plaintiffs allege OpenAI spent two years claiming it could not search its training data for the Times' articles, while depositions suggest the company was searching and deleting or making unsearchable billions of ChatGPT logs. OpenAI denies the allegations. The case is in discovery and heading toward summary-judgment briefing in 2026 with possible trial in 2027. The Times settled a similar claim against Anthropic in 2025 for $1.5 billion.. New York Times. Fwd: Apple throws a wrench in OpenAI's big IPO
