Scott Turow's latest real-life legal thriller: Suing Meta for copyright infringement
""All Americans should understand that the bold future promised by A.I., has been, to paraphrase the investigative writer Alex Reisner, created with stolen words," said Turow in a statement to NPR."
""If we license once [sic] single book, we won't be able to lean into the fair use strategy," a Meta employee is quoted as saying in the complaint."
""It's the most flagrant copyright breach in history," said Authors Guild CEO Mary Rasenberger in a statement to NPR."
Hachette, Macmillan, McGraw Hill, Elsevier, and Cengage, alongside author Scott Turow, filed a lawsuit against Meta for copyright infringement. The plaintiffs claim Meta used copyrighted books and articles to train its AI models, specifically the Llama language model, without authorization. The complaint alleges that Meta bypassed legal licensing and opted for piracy, with Zuckerberg's approval. Turow emphasized the ethical implications of AI development based on stolen content, while the Authors Guild criticized the actions of tech companies in this context.
