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.

    Haha, what a bunch of scumbags. They can"t even seed back when pirating.

    We really need to round up all of Meta’s executive directors, seize all their assets (every last cent) and require them to mandatory two decade live-in community service as a junior custodian at hospice centres or infectious disease hospitals.

    Not for thus of course, more like knowingly enabling genocide in Myanmar and so on.
