Authors Suing OpenAI Lose Bid to Stop Rival Copyright Lawsuits in New York

A federal judge in California has denied a request by authors suing OpenAI for copyright infringement to block the company from defending against related cases filed in Manhattan by the New York Times NYT.N and high-profile writers such as John Grisham and George R.R. Martin.
U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin said on Friday that the authors in the California case, including Michael Chabon, Ta-Nehisi Coates and comedian Sarah Silverman, had cited “no authority” that would allow her to stop Microsoft-backed MSFT.O OpenAI from defending against lawsuits in a separate court.
Representatives for the authors and OpenAI did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday. A spokesperson for the New York Times declined to comment.
