Major Bollywood music labels, including T-Series, Saregama, and Sony, have joined a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI in New Delhi.

The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI used their sound recordings without authorization to train its AI models.

The Indian Music Industry (IMI) submitted a petition on Feb.13, claiming OpenAI’s actions violate copyright laws.

This lawsuit reflects a growing trend of global legal challenges against AI companies for using publicly available content, such as music and lyrics, without permission.

OpenAI, which identifies India as its second-largest market by users, asserts it operates within fair use guidelines.
