Meta wins AI copyright case, but judge writes roadmap for authors’ revenge
Jun 26 2025
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria granted summary judgment to Meta in a case brought by 13 authors, including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sarah Silverman, and Pulitzer Prize winners Junot Díaz and Andrew Sean Greer, who alleged the company illegally used their books to train its Llama AI models. The judge found Meta’s use was “highly transformative” under copyright law’s fair use doctrine and that the authors failed to present adequate evidence of how they were harmed by Meta’s actions.
