This week, Meta responded to allegations of illegally torrenting pirated books for AI training by insisting they did not share the files after downloading. Meta's court filing contended there is no evidence of 'seeding' these files, which could impact a lawsuit from authors claiming copyright infringement. Authors accuse Meta of orchestrating a significant data piracy operation, violating copyright laws and California regulations related to unauthorized data access. The case raises questions about the legality of torrenting and its implications for AI training practices using copyrighted materials.
Meta's admission to torrenting adds a straightforward claim of unlawful distribution of copyrighted works, though they argue they did not 'seed' the files.
Authors allege Meta engaged in one of the largest data piracy campaigns, acquiring millions of copyrighted works unlawfully for AI training.
