A new court filing alleges that Meta Platforms downloaded copyrighted material from the controversial website Library Genesis (LibGen) to train its AI models.
Meta allegedly downloaded material from Library Genesis (LibGen), a website accused of hosting copyrighted works, to train its AI models, according to a new court filing. This revelation comes from the ongoing lawsuit filed by novelist Richard Kadrey (along with comedian Sarah Silverman) against Meta Platforms. They allege that stolen versions of their work were used to train AI.
The filing states that Meta used BitTorrent to download documents from LibGen, despite internal debate about its legality. They claim Meta removed copyright notices from the downloaded material to prevent AI outputs from revealing its source. Meta, however, argues that the plaintiffs are misrepresenting the situation and that the use of LibGen was known for months. The core dispute centers around whether Meta's use of LibGen constitutes a violation of the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act. Meta denies distributing LibGen and argues against adding this charge to the lawsuit.
