The authors claim that Anthropic built a multibillion-dollar business by stealing hundreds of thousands of copyrighted books, utilizing 'The Pile' to train its AI models.
The lawsuit states that Anthropic's use of 'The Pile' and 'Books3' involved knowingly downloading copyrighted material from pirate websites, leading to allegations of intellectual property theft.
Writers involved in the lawsuit include notable authors like Andrea Bartz and Charles Graeber, who seek court certification for their class action against Anthropic.
Although 'Books3' was removed from the official version of 'The Pile,' the lawsuit asserts that its original form continues to circulate online, highlighting ongoing copyright concerns.
