An adult film company, Strike 3 Holdings<\/strong>, has filed a lawsuit<\/strong> against Meta<\/strong>, accusing the company of using its copyrighted content without permission to train its artificial intelligence<\/strong> models. The company is seeking damages of around $150,000 for each piece of content it alleges Meta<\/a><\/em><\/strong> used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta<\/strong> is once again in trouble with a copyright infringement<\/strong> lawsuit. The adult film company Strike 3 Holdings<\/strong> alleges that Meta<\/strong> illegally used its copyrighted content without authorization to train its AI<\/strong> models, specifically those focused on video generation like Meta Movie Gen<\/strong> and LLaMA 4<\/strong>. At the center of the lawsuit are 2,396 videos downloaded via BitTorrent<\/strong> from IP addresses belonging to Meta<\/strong>. The company claims these infringements have been ongoing since 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is alleged that this content was used to train the artificial intelligence<\/strong> to mimic human movements more realistically. The plaintiff company is demanding statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each infringement. This means the total value of the lawsuit<\/strong> could reach up to $359 million. The case is not limited to monetary compensation; Strike 3<\/strong> is also demanding that Meta<\/strong> delete all of its copyrighted content and refrain from using it in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lawsuit<\/strong> once again brings to light the legal uncertainty surrounding the use of copyrighted materials as training data<\/strong> by AI<\/strong> companies. In similar cases previously brought by artists and authors, courts have rendered different verdicts. However, what makes this case different is the direct and provable act of copyright infringement<\/strong> through the alleged unauthorized downloading and distribution of content via BitTorrent<\/strong>. This situation could change the course of the lawsuit<\/strong> and set a precedent in the AI<\/strong> industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
