Overview
- Meta told the court the flagged activity averaged about 22 downloads per year and consisted of a few dozen titles obtained intermittently one file at a time.
- Company lawyers said Strike 3 failed to identify any individuals behind the downloads or show that any files were used to train a specific Meta model.
- Meta argued the traffic cannot be reliably tied to employees because its networks are used by contractors, visitors, vendors, and other third parties.
- The filing disputes an allegation involving a contractor, noting he was an automation engineer and asserting the downloads appear to be personal consumption with no facts linking them to Meta’s AI work.
- The litigation remains active as both sides contest attribution and whether the cited downloads relate to any AI training.
