Owner of IGN and CNNNA Journals complained about intellectual property violations

Zef Davis, who owns several major technology journals, including IGN and CNET alongside PCMAG, has recently filed a complaint from Openai for violating the intellectual property of the content published in the media.

Why is Openai accused of violating the intellectual property of content?

IGN and CNET websites are the most familiar names for the technology world, and PCMAG is one of the oldest computer magazines that cover the game and technology world content from years to date. According to the New York Times, the owner of the said websites has recently filed a petition against Openai, accused of violating the intellectual property of the content published in the magazines.

Zef Davis, who owns several prestigious technology media, has accused Openai of deliberately and repeatedly violated its publications. He believes that fully copied versions of the posts of these sites have been released by Openai services and that the company has also used them to practice its artificial intelligence models without permission. All of this comes as sites owned by Mr. Davis do not allow content to access the content through the web creeping, and this is explicitly mentioned in the robots.txt file on his sites. Web crawling is an automatic tool that examines and uses page content on the Internet and is one of the main ways to collect data from the web level.

Currently, Mr. Davis media are working with more than 5 employees, making him one of the largest publishers of Openai. The petition states that his or her own sites publish about 5 million materials annually, with the average visitors to 4 people a month. It is noteworthy that large companies in the field of technology news such as Vox Media, the Associated Press and the Financial Times have previously signed cooperation contracts with Openai that allow their content to use artificial intelligence models.

Mr Davis has called on Openai to end the unauthorized use and archive of the content of his owned media. He wants to remove all previous data from Openai servers so that in the future not to answer users’ questions in various services, including ChatGPT. Now what is the court’s ruling to the IGN and CNNNowner’s petition. It is also possible that Openai may also be able to reach an understanding of content intellectual property with Mr. Davis to retrieve his complaint.
