A group of distinguished authors has petitioned a California federal court to rule in their favor regarding allegations against Meta, accusing the tech giant of direct copyright infringement. The authors contend that Meta utilized databases containing pirated works to train its artificial intelligence tool, “Llama,” thereby violating their copyrights on a large scale. The copyrighted materials allegedly include books written by U.S. Supreme Court justices. The authors are seeking legal acknowledgment of what they claim is Meta’s extensive unauthorized use of their protected materials.
