COURTS CLEAR OPENAI AS TIMES CASE COLLAPSES
traders now bet the newspaper's copyright fight ends in defeat
NEW YORK, July 20 — The New York Times' copyright case against OpenAI is headed for defeat, with courts favored to clear the AI maker — an outcome traders priced at 59 per cent.
The suit accused OpenAI of feeding millions of Times articles into its models without paying. On Kalshi, the money now reads the case as a verdict long before any judge signs one.
The stakes reach past one newsroom. A loss here weakens every publisher hoping to bill the machines for their words. Observers say the market has already declared the winner.
