主要出版社、LlamaのトレーニングをめぐりMetaを提訴
Macmillan、McGraw-Hill、Cengage、Elsevier、Hachetteが、LlamaモデルのトレーニングのためにLibGenやAnna's Archiveから書籍を違法に海賊版として入手したとして、Metaに対する集団訴訟を起こしました。訴状では、LlamaがStewart's Calculusなどの著作権で保護された教科書の文章をそのまま出力していると主張しています。Metaはフェアユースを根拠にこれらの主張に反論し、訴訟に積極的に戦う姿勢を示しています。
Five major publishers—Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Cengage, Elsevier, and Hachette—alongside author Scott Turow, filed a class action lawsuit against Meta in federal court. The complaint alleges Meta engaged in systematic copyright infringement by training its Llama models on pirated content sourced from sites like LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Sci-Hub. The publishers cite internal company communications and claim Llama can reproduce verbatim passages from protected works, such as Cengage's *Calculus: Early Transcendentals*.
The plaintiffs seek damages and an injunction to halt Meta's use of their copyrighted materials, alongside a court order requiring Meta to disclose the specific datasets used for training. Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold defended the company's practices, stating courts have found AI training on copyrighted material qualifies as fair use, and confirmed Meta intends to fight the lawsuit aggressively.
