But that judgement clearly had nothing to do with the use of pirated material, right? It might give a partial pass to the use of copyrighted material for training LLM, but it says nothing about pirating material being legal if it is used for training LLM, which the top comment was alluding to.
Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria ruled on both motions, which at first sight offers a clear win for Meta. The court denied the authors’ motion to hold Meta liable for direct copyright infringement after it obtaining pirated books from shadow libraries via BitTorrent.
Did have piracy part. Just not listed on first website.
Hmmm, that got me thinking: if you selfhost, you make sure you also instal ollama or some LLM you can also self-host. You don’t need to use the LLM yourself at all. Then if something goes south, and you’re accused of piracy, you can just defend yourself that you used all these materials to train your own LLM. That should get you out of trouble, right?
Again, they haven’t made a decision on the distribution part of the training data, which is the one related to piracy. They only ruled that using copyrighted material for training LLM did not satisfy copyright infringement for the specific argument used by the authors against Meta.
Thanks for the source. It also seems like the distribution part is not ruled on yet, so we don’t know if they’ll get away with pirating stuff just yet.
