Data (Use and Access) Bill [HL]Contribution
In a US case against Meta for pirating content to develop its Llama model, the allegation is that not only did it use the book piracy website Library Genesis— I suspect many noble Lords will be as surprised as I am that such a site exists—but internal Meta emails show that the tech company went to some lengths to obscure the origin of the data. One Meta employee suggested removing copyright heads and document identifiers, including any lines containing “ISBN”, “copyright” and “all rights reserved”. Meta emails suggested that removing such metadata would “reduce legal complications”.
