The plaintiffs claim that Meta knowingly used pirated materials, specifically from the LibGen dataset, for training its Llama AI models with the approval of Mark Zuckerberg.
The lawsuit alleges that Meta removed copyright information from LibGen materials before using them for training, which raises serious ethical and legal questions regarding their practices.
Meta reportedly admitted to the court that it deleted copyright paragraphs from scientific articles to conceal its infringement, indicating a deliberate strategy to sidestep legal repercussions.
Counsel for the plaintiffs stated that engineers at Meta felt uneasy about torrenting materials for AI training from corporate devices, highlighting internal conflicts about the company's actions.
