Five major publishers and bestselling author Scott Turow filed a class-action lawsuit Tuesday against Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, alleging the company built its Llama language model using millions of copyrighted books and journal articles pirated from websites like LibGen without authorization or compensation.
