Meta's legal battle over its alleged use of pirated books as AI training data continues to deliver new twists. Fresh allegations that Meta may have shared data with third parties while "leeching" from torrents have added a critical layer to the legal dispute. The book authors obtained permission to put a spotlight on Meta's "leeching" activity and, in addition, requested summary judgment on copyright infringement.

We can violate their property right when we remain untraceable.

Look, the only reason we even know about Meta torrenting books is because they're getting sued. Evidently they're not getting away with it, unless they win this case
