Overview

• Strike 3 Holdings’ July 28 complaint alleges that since 2018 Meta downloaded and shared at least 2,396 copyrighted adult videos via BitTorrent to train its Meta Movie Gen, LLaMA and other AI systems.
• Plaintiffs say forensic tools logged over 100,000 unauthorized distribution transactions tied to Facebook-owned IP addresses and a Meta employee’s residential connection.
• The suit describes six Virtual Private Clouds and a third-party data center used as a stealth network of hidden IPs to mask Meta’s torrenting activity.
• Strike 3 is pursuing up to $359 million in damages alongside a permanent court order requiring removal of its content from Meta’s AI training datasets.
• Legal filings warn that seeding adult films on open networks may have eased minors’ access to pornography and demand a ban on any future use of those works.
