Book publishers sue Meta over Llama’s word-for-word piracy
Meta is facing a massive class action lawsuit from five major book publishers and author Scott Turow, accusing the company of training its Llama models on pirated books from sites like LibGen and Sci-Hub. The suit claims Llama reproduces copyrighted textbooks verbatim and demands damages plus full disclosure of training data, while Meta insists AI training qualifies as fair use.
