How the e-mails work

Uses the cases, search, kind and company you set above (not the month or sort). As we post means within about 15 minutes of a new item; digests go out in the morning, U.S. Central time, weekly on Mondays, and only when something new matches. Updates start right away, and every e-mail has a one-click unsubscribe. If you tick Catch me up, the earlier items that match also come two a day, oldest first, each morning until you are up to date; you can stop that alone from any e-mail. Someone you invite gets one e-mail asking them to accept, and nothing more unless they do; we don’t tell them who invited them. Privacy.

Mississippi newspaper publisher Boone Newsmedia sues Microsoft and OpenAI for copyright infringement in federal court in Mississippi

Boone Newsmedia, Inc. filed a copyright complaint with a jury demand on Oct. 30, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi against Microsoft and eleven OpenAI entities, including OpenAI, Inc., OpenAI OpCo, OpenAI Global, OpenAI Group PBC and the OpenAI Foundation. The court reported the filing to the Copyright Office the same day. The complaint itself is not yet public on RECAP, so the works and claims it asserts are not yet known; other newspaper publishers' suits against the same companies are consolidated in the OpenAI copyright MDL in New York. This item rests on the docket record only.

What the labels mean

Every item says what kind of source it rests on. A court ruling or order is the court's own statement. A company filing is what a defendant says about itself. A government filing is a statement by a government agency that is not a party to the case, such as a statement of interest; it is the government's position, not a ruling. An allegation is what a complaint or motion claims and has not been decided. Reported means press reporting we have not confirmed from the primary document. Summaries are our own; follow the links for the source.

This page is general information, not legal advice. An allegation is not a finding. Whether any of this matters for a particular work or claim is a question for a lawyer.
