MUNICH (Reuters) -A German court on Tuesday sided with the country’s music rights society GEMA in a closely watched copyright case against U.S.-based artificial intelligence firm OpenAI.

GEMA argued OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT reproduces lyrics from copyrighted German songs without authorisation, and that its AI was trained on protected content from the repertoire of its roughly 100,000 members, who include best-selling musician Herbert Groenemeyer.
