Polynomial ideal conjecture for pairwise coprime linear forms

Let f1,,fmC[x,y]f_1,\ldots,f_m\in\mathbb C[x,y] be linear forms such that gcd(fi,fj)=1\gcd(f_i,f_j)=1 for all iji\neq j. For each pair i<ji<j, let fi+z,fj+z\langle f_i+z,f_j+z\rangle denote the ideal of C[x,y,z]\mathbb C[x,y,z] generated by fi+zf_i+z and fj+zf_j+z. Polynomial ideal conjecture. One has

i=1mfi1i<jmfi+z,fj+z.\prod_{i=1}^m f_i\notin\bigcap_{1\leq i<j\leq m}\langle f_i+z,f_j+z\rangle.

The paper states this as an equivalent commutative-algebraic formulation of the complex arrangement conjecture. It remains open in the source, although the geometric conjecture is verified there for arrangements with at most 1212 lines.
