In one of the AI lawsuits faced by Meta, the company stands accused of distributing pirated books. The authors who filed the class-action lawsuit allege that Meta shared books from the shadow library LibGen with third parties via BitTorrent. Meta, however, says that it took precautions to prevent ‘seeding’ content. In addition, the company clarifies that there is nothing ‘independently illegal’ about torrenting.
The law is called the DMCA but you’re clearly using some sort of mental gymnastics to argue that the act of piracy is not making a copy of copyrighted material, which is factually and legally incorrect.
The question isn’t whether a copy is being made. The question is who is making the copy. That person is the uploaded, not the downloaded.
The copy is created after the downloader originates the request. The uploader isn’t just manufacturing copies for no reason. The process requires 2 parties.
Undisputed. And irrelevant. The uploader is making and distributing the copy. The downloaded is merely receiving it.
You are truly hopeless to understand.
