Every time I read an article about Facebook, I hate them a little more.

Meta argued that Strike 3 Holdings failed to show that Meta actually intended to use Strike 3 Holdings’ videos to train its AI models and that Meta, the company, was actually responsible for downloading the videos, as opposed to rogue employees downloading porn on company time from company IP addresses.

I think they protest too much.

And it’s extra scummy to blame corporate behavior on scapegoat employees.

Where’s the part where meta actually get punished for insulting the judicial system with a defence that is clearly an insulting fabrication

Love watching big porn fight big tech

Ohhh, for video AI, not like when they copy news articles to keep people from leaving their site.

Surprisingly I’m with Meta on this one. Training is transformative use, and anything legally published is fair game. Doing math about library books is not a substitute for any particular work. Archive.org doesn’t need opt-in permission from every website. Video sites mad about keeping the files they sent you can fuck off. Basically - any argument against this requires making copyright even worse. Let’s don’t.

In this case they’re surely training against these examples. Like, if you want video models to not generate porn… how do you expect it to know what porn is?
