- Two adult entertainment companies, Strike 3 Holdings and Counterlife Media, filed a $359 million lawsuit against Meta.
- The lawsuit alleges Meta illegally downloaded and seeded torrents of nearly 2,400 porn videos to train its AI systems.
- Meta claims the downloads were for 'personal use' and not for AI training or copyright infringement.
- The lawsuit suggests Meta might be developing a secret porn-generating AI model.
- Strike 3 is known for numerous copyright lawsuits, including against its own fans.
- Plaintiffs claim to have evidence linking 47 Meta-associated IP addresses to the downloads.
- Meta argues the downloads are too few for AI training and more indicative of personal use.
- The lawsuit highlights a Meta contractor's father whose IP allegedly downloaded 97 videos.
- Meta denies training AI on porn and bans explicit content from its models.
- The case raises questions about AI ethics and copyright in the adult entertainment industry.
