Being that this is a massive dataset of books and much of them "banned" books I don't really see a problem with this.

From the post:

>Newly unsealed emails allegedly provide the "most damning evidence" yet against Meta in a copyright case raised by book authors alleging that Meta illegally trained its AI models on pirated books. Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

It's still copyrighted material. If it was a private citizen they'd have the book (lol) thrown at them. Meta should be fined similarly to everyone else sent scare letters by the MAFIAA. $20k per book should do it.

I wont argue that but I will argue that this is a "library" just not one that is controlled by a state/government which is why (((people))) are angry about it.

Why can't we have every single book in a physical library available online all of the time with no need for a physical location? I think I am going to need to upgrade my local storage so I can have at least 200TB of storage.
