In one of the AI lawsuits faced by Meta, the company stands accused of distributing pirated books. The authors who filed the class-action lawsuit allege that Meta shared books from the shadow library LibGen with third parties via BitTorrent. Meta, however, says that it took precautions to prevent ‘seeding’ content. In addition, the company clarifies that there is nothing ‘independently illegal’ about torrenting.

    You seem intent on repeatedly misrepresenting the situation so this conversation is clearly going nowhere.

      One of us seems intent on repeatedly misrepresenting the situation. I am inclined to leave the determination of that point to the reader.
