  1. “Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

    Newly unsealed emails allegedly provide the “most damning evidence” yet against Meta in a copyright case raised by book authors alleging that Meta illegally trained its #AI models on pirated books.

    Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta’s unredacted emails were made public. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented “at least 81.7 TB of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 TB of data from Z-Library and LibGen,” the filing said.

    The authors allege that #Meta chose to hide its torrenting as best it could while downloading and seeding terabytes of data from multiple shadow libraries as recently as April 2024.
