Court filings in The New York Times Co. v. OpenAI Inc. (S.D.N.Y., 2023) detail ingestion of millions of articles without license, yet primary records from the U.S. Copyright Office's 2023 AI report and WIPO's 2022 Creative Economy Outlook reveal parallel patterns across music, film, and design registries.
