YouTubers Sue Amazon, Claim AI Tool Was Trained on Scraped Videos
- Last week, three YouTube channels filed a class action lawsuit against Apple in California federal court, alleging the company violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by scraping millions of copyrighted videos to train its AI models.
- The lawsuit alleges Apple 'deliberately circumvented' YouTube's 'controlled streaming architecture' using automated tools to access protected content for the Panda-70M dataset.
- Content from the plaintiffs appears more than 500 times in the dataset, supporting their argument that Apple 'profited substantially' without compensation—an action they termed an 'unconscionable attack on the community of content creators.'
- The channels request statutory damages under 17 U.S.C. 1203 and a permanent injunction to prevent further infringement of their copyright-protected content by the defendant.
- Similar legal actions against Meta, Nvidia, ByteDance, and Snap precede this lawsuit, as the plaintiffs have also targeted Amazon and OpenAI regarding their alleged AI model training practices.
