OpenAI lawsuit, arguing that constraining LLM development under fair use doctrine would hinder American AI leadership. The brief references an executive order Trump signed last year. So far, AI training copyright cases have largely favored AI companies — Judge William Alsup ordered Anthropic to pay a $1.5 billion settlement to writers, but not for the training itself. Why: If US courts continue ruling that training on copyrighted material is fair use, the models Malaysian builders depend on (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) will keep being trained on broad corpora without licensing restrictions — but it also means any Malaysian startup training its own models on copyrighted data faces an unsettled legal landscape, since Malaysian copyright law is separate from US fair use doctrine. Founders shipping AI products should not assume US rulings protect them locally. copyright fair-use ai-policy openai training-data
