From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence

In February 2025, the court granted summary judgment that such copying was not fair use, emphasizing that the purpose of ROSS’s copying was to build a directly competing product

Bartz v. Anthropic

The court granted summary judgment for Anthropic that training LLMs on copyrighted materials is fair use.

Kadrey v. Meta

Judge Vince Chhabria denied plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on fair use and granted Meta’s cross-motion and granted Meta’s motion for partial summary judgment on the DMCA claim.

UMG v Udio

Settled - no judgement.

Those are the settled ones so far. This is 4 years into AI existing. Lawsuits, especially copyright lawsuits, tend to take up to a decade in the US, because the US legal system is shit.

Here’s 118 currently in progress. Because AI is copyright infringement.

Having lawsuits is not winning lawsuits. The AI companies have been winning on fair use. Same as Google back in the 2000s when they were sued for for various search products (news, books, etc.).
