Meta has prevailed in a high-profile federal lawsuit claiming to have allegedly trained his powerful model, Llama, in a wide trove of copyright protected books-including the “art of President Donald Trump’s agreement”.
The trial, raised two years ago by authors Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden and comedian Sarah Silverman, claims that the technology giant after Facebook and Instagram used more than 190,000 copyright protected books without authorization or compensation.
Among the titles that are said to have been used to train Meta language model are “The Art of the Agreement”, as well as books by the children of Trump Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
The perpetrators had argued in court files that Meta is “responsible for massive copyright violations” by receiving their books from the internet depots of the pirated works and feeding them on the Flag Flag Generative AI System Llama.
Meta objected in court files that the US Rights Law “allows the unauthorized copy of a work to turn it into something new” and that the new expression, created by what comes out of its chatbots, is fundamentally different from the books for which it was trained.
Meta Director General, Mark Zuckerberg, has worked hard to favor President Trump since won last fall elections, including meeting him at Mar-a-Lago, donating $ 1 million to his inaugural fund and hiring Republican strategies to lead Meta’s political positioning.
He has also shifted the moderation policies of the meta content to approximate more closely with conservative advantages and publicly appreciated Trump’s stance on technology and free speech.
According to court appearances, Meta acknowledged that her training data included copyright protected materials, raising serious questions whether this practice constitutes the right use – especially since Llama is intended for commercial use.
US District Judge Vince Chhabria revealed that 13 perpetrators who sue Meta “made wrong arguments” and threw the case. But the judge also said that the ruling is limited to the authors in the matter and does not mean that the use of the meta protected materials from the copyright is legal.
“This decision is not for the proposal that the use of Meta protected materials to train its linguistic models is legal,” Chhabria wrote.
“Lies only for the proposal that these plaintiffs made wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of a right.”

Lawyers for Plaintiffs-a group of renowned writers involving Silverman and authors Jacqueline Woodson and Ta-Nahisi Coates-said in a statement that “the court ruled that the companies that feed the copyright protected by their models without permission from the copyright holders or by paying them.”
“However, despite the indisputable record of Meta’s historically unparalleled drinking for copyright protected deeds, the court ruled in favor of Meta. We respectfully disagree with that conclusion,” the statement said.
Meta said he appreciates the decision.
“Open -source models are strengthening transformative innovations, productivity and creativity for individuals and companies, and the right use of copyright material is a vital legal framework for building this transformative technology,” said Menlo Park, California -based company in a statement.
The post has requested comment from Meta, the Trump organization and the White House.
Earlier this month, a court ruled that the use of legally acquired anthropic books to train its Claude Chatbot was a fair use, but allowed a special trial to continue on his alleged dismissal of pirated books.
Numerous lawsuits by news organizations against Openai and Microsoft for unauthorized use of news content to train the models and remain in the following, with some claims that survive early motions, but no final rules are issued.
