Sounds like he should be personally liable for every count of copyright infringement then
If the RIAA can sue $100,000’s per individual mp3 file…
what’s that? oh just a lawsuit for 43 quadrillion dollars.
Do we yet have a legal framework to call LLM training copyright infringement?
Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.
That’s not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn’t true.
This is a man who’s reaction to being trusted is to question the intelligence of the person trusting him. I’m not kidding.
Are they gonna force them to delete the model? 🤔
Facebook is quite resistant to people forcing them to do things
Its open source. It can’t be deleted.
According to the latest filing, Meta also revealed during depositions that it torrented LibGen, a move that gave some Meta research engineers pause. Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.
Plaintiffs’ counsel alleges that Meta effectively engaged in another form of copyright infringement by torrenting LibGen and thus helping to spread its contents. Meta also tried to conceal its activities, counsel alleges, by minimizing the number of files it uploaded.
So if books3 was all off Bibliotik… is the mysterious books2 that’s theorized to be all of libgen what they torrented?? I had heard of OpenAI using books2, but no others, and no firm info on it. So were they torrenting individual books, a thing that’s probably relatively simple to automate, or did they find a torrent of books2? Were they just throttling upload on a public torrent/torrents?
I genuinely don’t understand people defending copy right on Lemmy. It’s a bad system that’s made for wealth hoarding. Out of 1,000,000 copyright conflicts only 1 them protects actual people. The rest 999,999 is there to hoard wealth for the rich.
It’s good that Llama was trained on copyrighted stuff even if you hate Meta and Zuckerborg.
“Had Meta bought plaintiffs’ works in a bookstore or borrowed them from a library and trained its Llama models on them without a license, it would have committed copyright infringement,” wrote plaintiffs’ counsel in the filing.
I wonder how many here agree with that theory.
