Federal Judge Rules in Favor of Meta in Copyright Lawsuit

Recently, a federal judge made a significant decision in a lawsuit brought against Meta by 13 book authors, including Sarah Silverman. The authors alleged that Meta had unlawfully trained its AI models using their copyrighted works. However, Judge Vince Chhabria issued a summary judgment in favor of Meta, stating that the company’s actions fell under the “fair use” doctrine of copyright law.

This ruling comes shortly after a similar case where a federal judge sided with Anthropic, indicating a trend of victories for the tech industry in legal battles with media companies over the use of copyrighted works to train AI models.

It’s important to note that these decisions have limitations and don’t provide a blanket approval for all AI model training on copyrighted materials. Judge Chhabria emphasized that the plaintiffs in this case failed to present strong arguments and evidence to support their claims.

According to Judge Chhabria, Meta’s use of copyrighted works was deemed transformative, as the AI models didn’t simply replicate the authors’ books. Additionally, the plaintiffs couldn’t demonstrate that Meta’s actions negatively impacted the market for their works, a crucial factor in copyright violation cases.

While Meta and Anthropic emerged victorious in cases involving book training, there are ongoing lawsuits against other tech companies for training AI models on different types of copyrighted content. For example, The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for using news articles, while Disney and Universal are pursuing legal action against Midjourney for training AI models on films and TV shows.

Judge Chhabria highlighted the importance of case-specific details in fair use defenses, suggesting that certain industries may have stronger arguments than others. He mentioned that markets for works like news articles could be particularly susceptible to competition from AI-generated content.
