Winston & Strawn partner Bobby Malhotra was quoted in a Bloomberg Law article discussing the OpenAI Inc. copyright lawsuit and legal debate over how to balance a court’s need for information against protecting individuals’ personal data. OpenAI has been challenging a court order to preserve its ChatGPT outputs in a precedent-setting copyright case, claiming the order threatens hundreds of millions of its users’ privacy rights. The first of its kind case will show how courts will weigh legal questions against protecting the privacy of large amounts of personal information in AI-related litigation.

Oregon Enacts SB 951, Restricting PE-Backed MSOs in Physician Practice Transactions
On June 9, 2025, Oregon enacted Senate Bill 951 (SB 951), a sweeping new law significantly limiting how management services organizations (MSOs)—including those backed by private-equity firms—may engage with physician practices. The legislation targets traditional “friendly provider” models by restricting ownership and operational control of professional medical entities and voiding restrictive covenants. Investors must now reassess Oregon-based physician practice investments to ensure compliance by 2026 (for new MSOs) and 2029 (for existing ones). It’s noteworthy that this law will coexist with Oregon’s complicated health care transactions notice law, a law that requires a thorough review of certain health care transactions.

Winston & Strawn LLP represents classes of professional swimmers that have filed a class action lawsuit against World Aquatics (formerly Fédération Internationale de Natation). Shields et al v. Federation Internationale De Natation, Case No. 3:18-cv-07393-JSC. The plaintiffs allege that World Aquatics violated federal antitrust law by organizing a group boycott against a competing swimming league, the International Swimming League (“ISL”), which prevented ISL from holding professional swimming competitions in 2018 and 2019. The plaintiffs allege that affected swimmers collectively would have earned millions of dollars in appearances fees and prize money at those events had they taken place. The plaintiffs are also seeking injunctive relief to prevent the Defendant World Aquatics from interfering in the future with swimmers’ ability to earn compensation by participating in professional swimming competitions, including those held by swimming leagues that are not sanctioned by World Aquatics. World Aquatics denies that it violated any law, denies that it organized an unlawful group boycott and denies that it prevented swimmers from participating in swimming competitions hosted by ISL in 2018 and 2019.

What Is the Equal Rights Amendment?
Currently, the Constitution does not guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens without regard to sex. With 24 words, the Equal Rights Amendment would change that. It would provide that “[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” It would also give Congress the power to enforce that constitutional guarantee by passing legislation.
