"Just when you thought you've seen it all, Meta comes out and accuses a random man of hosting a trove of illegally torrented smut. The whole thing started with a July lawsuit by an adult film companies Strike 3 - which has been called the "most active copyright litigant in the United States" - and Counterlife Media. To make a long story short,"
"The counter-argument came via Meta's motion to dismiss the case, as part of a claim that the 2,400 video files in question aren't enough to develop a workable AI model. "The small number of downloads - roughly 22 per year on average across dozens of Meta IP addresses - is plainly indicative of private personal use, not a concerted effort to collect the massive datasets Plaintiffs allege are necessary for effective AI training," Meta quarreled."
Two adult-entertainment rightsholders, Strike 3 and Counterlife Media, filed a July civil suit alleging Meta illegally torrenting about 2,400 adult videos to train generative AI and seeking $359 million in damages. Plaintiffs claim Meta may be developing an "adult version" of Movie Gen. TorrentFreak linked 47 Meta IP addresses to illegal distribution. Meta contends downloads were private personal use, averaged roughly 22 per year across many IPs, and argues that 2,400 files are insufficient to train an effective AI model. Meta also states it takes deliberate steps to avoid training on such content.
