Law Professors Support Authors in Meta AI Copyright Lawsuit

A group of copyright law professors has filed an amicus brief supporting authors suing Meta for allegedly using their e-books without permission to train its Llama AI models. The brief argues that Meta's fair use defense is unprecedented, as the AI-generated content competes directly with the original works in the same markets. The lawsuit, Kadrey v. Meta, includes plaintiffs like Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates, who claim Meta removed copyright information to conceal infringement.
