The Briefing by Weintraub Tobin

The Wrong Argument – Why Authors Lost Against Meta and What Comes Next

Listen Later

In a major win for Meta, a federal court recently dismissed a lawsuit brought by prominent authors who claimed their books were illegally used to train the company’s LLaMA models. But the ruling doesn’t give AI companies a free pass—it reveals the roadmap for how a better-prepared copyright plaintiff could win next time.

In this episode of The Briefing, Scott Hervey is joined by his partner Matt Sugarman as they break down:

  • The background of Kadrey v. Meta
  • The court’s detailed fair use analysis
  • A comparison to Bartz v. Anthropic
  • The “third theory” of market harm that could shape future litigation
  • What AI developers must do now to avoid lawsuits
