Did Zuck's definition of 'free expression'

Court docs allege Meta trained its AI models on contentious trove of
maybe-pirated content

Did Zuck's definition of 'free expression' just get even broader?

Meta allegedly downloaded material from an online source that's been
sued for breaching copyright, because it wanted the material to train
its AI models, according to a new court filing.

The accusation was made in a document [PDF] filed in the case of
Richard Kadrey et al vs Meta Platforms, in which novelist Kadrey (and
others including comedian Sarah Silverman) allege stolen versions of
their work were used to train AI models. Several similar suits are in
motion, targeting different AI players.

The document claims that Meta decided to download documents from
Library Genesis - aka "LibGen" to train its models. LibGen is the
subject of a lawsuit brought by textbook publishers who believe it
happily hosts and distributes stolen works, and even accepts donations
to fund its operations.
