We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems. As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting. But what can authors do? Read here: societyofauthors.org/2025/03/21/t...

Just found that 4 of my books have likely been used to train Meta's AI models without consent. The Atlantic has a site where you can search the pirate website which Meta allegedly used, to learn if your books are there. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... actionnetwork.org/letters/auth...
