Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have been sued by five publishers and author Scott Turow, who allege the company illegally copied millions of books and articles to train its Llama AI system, with the lawsuit claiming Zuckerberg personally authorized the infringement after deciding against licensing. The proposed class-action suit filed in federal court seeks monetary damages, though Meta argues its use of copyrighted material qualifies as fair use, a defense that succeeded in a similar case a year earlier.
