Meta is embroiled in a legal dispute regarding its use of copyrighted works to train AI models. Court documents reveal that employees discussed potentially using these works despite knowing they might pose legal challenges. Internal chat logs feature staff suggesting risky strategies, such as acquiring books without proper licensing, underlining a culture of prioritizing rapid AI development over legal compliance. Notable figures, including authors engaged in the suit against Meta, argue that this constitutes a violation of copyright laws as the company asserts a fair use defense.
my opinion would be (in the line of 'ask forgiveness, not for permission'): we try to acquire the books and escalate it to execs so they make the call,
a gazillion startups were probably already using pirated books for training. I mean, worst case: we found out it is.
