"The group of six publishers and authors, including McGraw-Hill, MacMillan Publishing, and Hachette Book Group, allege Meta knew its decision to train its AI, called Llama, on their books and articles via pirating sites would be a copyright infringement, but did it anyway."
"Defendants copied copyrighted works as inputs to build a valuable commercial system without consent or compensation. That conduct appropriates the economic value of the works, eliminates a legitimate licensing market, and allows Defendants to free-ride on investments they did not make."
Major publishers have filed a class action lawsuit against Meta, claiming the company illegally trained its AI, Llama, on copyrighted materials from pirating sites. The publishers, including McGraw-Hill and Hachette, allege that Meta knowingly infringed copyright laws and concealed its actions. They seek compensation for profits generated from the AI's use of their works. Meta plans to contest the lawsuit, asserting that training AI on copyrighted content can be considered fair use. The lawsuit emphasizes the economic harm caused by Meta's actions to authors and publishers.
