- Meta filed a vigorous opposition to the Kadrey book authors’ attempt to file a 4th amended complaint and to move up the briefing of class certification to be simultaneous with summary judgment motions.
- The latter simultaneous motions occurred in Bartz v. Anthropic.
- Meta also seeks a stay of Kadrey while discovery is undertaken in the recently filed lawsuit by Entrepreneur Media.
Meta filed its opposition to the Kadrey book authors’ attempt to file a 4th amended complaint and to move up the briefing of class certification to be simultaneous with summary judgment motions.
Kadrey’s proposed 4th amended complaint would add (1) new details related to the torrenting by Meta, (2) a contributory infringement claim, and (3) the loan-out companies for Plaintiffs Silverman, Golden, and Coates that were already subject to discovery by Meta. (Loan out companies are often used by artists and actors for better tax treatment on income.)
