alt Hacker News> the law is very much on the side of copyright holders in the US.
Remind me again what the status of the case is with Meta/Facebook using pirated material to train their proprietary LLMs, and even seeding the data back to the community while downloading it?
In progress. Nobody is expecting the original protections afforded by copyright to apply here, but the fact that the material is pirated is less relevant than whether or not an LLM is a transformative use of the material.
We will almost certainly see copyright law weakened by the case, but I do not believe that FB will get off with no penalties.
