Kadrey v. Meta! On the merits! A doozy of a summary judgment opinion in form and substance. "The devil is in the details," but even for non-lawyers, at least the first five pages are a must-read - there are almost no legal citations to bog you down. The Court's take is that while "in many circumstances it will be illegal to copy copyright-protected works to train generative AI models without permission," it wasn't here: using these thirteen plaintiffs' books was fair use as a matter of law. Why? According to the Court, the plaintiffs didn't do a good enough job explaining how Meta's use of their books to train Llama harmed the market for those works. So much more here to unpack...stay tuned!
