Hi @tawny prism. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

OpenAI’s policies make clear that you may not:

• “Use our Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates anyone’s rights.” [ROW Terms – Using; EU Terms – Using]
• “Attempt to or assist anyone to reverse engineer, decompile or discover the source code or underlying components of our Services, including our models, algorithms, or systems.” [ROW Terms – Using; EU Terms – Using]
• “Automatically or programmatically extract data or Output.” [ROW Terms – Using; EU Terms – Using]

Stealing an API or underlying model/data (such as Sora 2) would clearly violate these restrictions and likely other laws. The documents provided do not spell out specific causes of action OpenAI would use, but they do reserve rights to enforce their terms, including seeking “injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.” [Terms – Dispute resolution; Services Agreement – Dispute Resolution]

So, while the knowledge sources do not explicitly say “OpenAI will sue you for stealing the API or Sora 2 data,” they make clear that such conduct is prohibited and that OpenAI can pursue legal remedies (including court actions for IP infringement or misuse of the services).

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
