"Meta Platforms is facing a proposed class action from five major publishers and author Scott Turow, alleging that the company pirated millions of their works to train its Llama models without permission, payment, or license."
"The complaint requests the court to certify the case as a class action, representing all rights holders similarly affected by Meta's actions in using copyrighted materials for AI training."
"Judge Vince Chhabria's previous ruling in favor of Meta on fair-use grounds was narrow and acknowledged that it may conflict with reality, applying only to the specific authors involved in that case."
Five major publishers and author Scott Turow filed a class action against Meta in Manhattan, alleging unauthorized use of their works to train Llama. The complaint seeks class action certification for all affected rights holders. This case differs from previous AI-training copyright cases, as it involves direct involvement from Mark Zuckerberg in using pirated data. A prior ruling favored Meta on fair-use grounds, but it was narrow and acknowledged its limitations, indicating potential challenges for Meta's defense in future cases.
