A federal judge has denied Nvidia’s motion to dismiss a copyright lawsuit over the use of pirated books to train its AI models. The lawsuit involves more than 197,000 pirated books from the Bibliotik and Books3 datasets.
Court rejects Nvidia’s defense in AI training data case
The case centers on Nvidia’s NeMo Megatron Framework. Judge Jon Tigar ruled that the scripts in the framework are alleged to have no other purpose than to speed up the process of infringement. He distinguished them from digital video recorder systems or internet services that have legitimate uses.
The ruling allows the copyright infringement claims to proceed. Nvidia had argued that its software was not designed for piracy, but the judge found the allegations sufficient to move forward.
TorrentFreak reported on the court decision. Nvidia has not commented on the ruling or indicated whether it will appeal.
