Meta is embroiled in a copyright lawsuit with authors like Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, who accuse the company of illegally using their works to develop generative AI tools. The core of the case, currently under scrutiny by US District Court Judge Vince Chhabria, is whether Meta's practices harm the authors' book sales, challenging the limits of the 'fair use' doctrine in copyright law. The outcome could set a legal precedent for future cases involving AI and copyright infringement.
"If you are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating the market for that person's work, and you're saying that you don't even have to pay a license to that person to use their work to create the product that's destroying the market for their work-I just don't understand how that can be fair use."
"The authors allege that Meta illegally used their work to build its generative AI tools, emphasizing that the company pirated their books through 'shadow libraries' like LibGen."
