""Meta's mass-scale infringement isn't public progress, and AI will never be properly realised if tech companies prioritise pirate sites over scholarship and imagination," said Maria Pallante, president of the Association of American Publishers."
""AI is powering transformative innovations, productivity and creativity for individuals and companies, and courts have rightly found that training AI on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use," a Meta spokesperson stated."
Five of the largest publishing houses have initiated a class-action lawsuit against Meta Platforms, alleging the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials to train its Llama AI models. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that Meta used pirated textbooks, scientific journals, and novels without permission. This marks a significant move by the publishing industry, which has previously remained passive while other content creators pursued legal action. Meta plans to defend itself vigorously, asserting that using copyrighted material for AI training can be considered fair use.
