theft was not some innocent mistake.
0:01
They knew exactly what they were doing.
0:03
They pirated these materials willfully.
0:07
As the idea of pirating copyrighted
0:09
works percolated through Meta, to take
0:11
one example, employee after employee
0:14
warned management that what they were
0:16
doing was illegal. One Meta employee
0:19
told management that, and I quote, now
0:21
this is not trivial. and he shared an
0:24
article asking what is the probability
0:26
of getting arrested for using torrent
0:29
illegal downloads in the United States.
0:31
Another Meta employee shared a different
0:33
article saying that downloading from
0:35
illegal repositories would open Meta up
0:38
to legal ramifications.
0:40
That's a nice way of saying that what
0:41
they were doing was exactly totally 100%
0:45
barred by copyright law. Did Meta
0:48
Management listen? No. They bulldozed
0:52
straight ahead. We'll see evidence today
0:54
that Mark Zuckerberg himself approved
0:56
the decision to use these pirated
0:58
materials. And then the best part, Meta
1:00
Management tried to hide it. They tried
1:02
to hide the fact that they were engaged
1:04
in the illegal download of pirated
1:07
works. And not just the illegal
1:08
download, but the illegal distribution
1:10
of these same works. They tried to hide
1:12
it by using non-comp servers. They went
1:15
so far as to train their AI model. I get
1:18
this. MetaTrained its AI model to lie to
1:21
users about what data it had been
1:23
trained on. I mean, you talk about an
1:25
inception level worthy deception.
1:27
Training the AI model to lie about what
1:29
its own sources were. This isn't just
1:31
aggressive business tactics. This is
1:33
criminal conduct. And I just want to
1:35
point out Meta's conduct is not an
1:37
exception. This is the rule when it
1:40
comes to what is happening right now in
1:42
the AI space among these mega companies.
1:44
Big tech operates on the model of do
1:47
whatever you want and count on the
1:49
lobbyists and the lawyers to fix it
1:51
later. They don't care about the rule of
1:52
law. They don't care about America. They
1:54
don't care about freedom. They certainly
1:55
don't care about working people. They
1:57
care about power and they care about
