Five of the country’s largest book and journal publishers along with bestselling author Scott Turow have joined together to file a class action lawsuit against Meta and its founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, for willful infringement of millions of works, torrented via pirate sites, to develop Meta’s Llama large language models.
The lawsuit is the first copyright infringement litigation brought against an AI firm by publishers. It also looks to include a proposed class of copyright owners with similar claims against Meta and Zuckerberg. To date, most of the lawsuits have been brought by authors and other creatives, such as the class action lawsuit against Anthropic. The publishers are seeking monetary and injunctive relief, including an order to destroy all infringing copies in Meta’s possession or control.
