Molly Tanzer, a book author, has filed another copyright lawsuit in a proposed class action.
This one is against Adobe for its alleged use of the SlimPajama dataset, a subset compiled from Books3 dataset by Cerebras for AI research, to train Adobe’s model(s). In James v. Cerebras, Cerebras contends that its purpose for sharing the SlimPajama dataset was to further research, including academic research and to allow for “reproducible experimentation” and testing.
Tanzer already sued Salesforce for its alleged used of Books3. Judge Breyer presides over In re Salesforce Copyright Infringement Litigation.
Tanzer is represented in both cases by the Joseph Saveri Law Firm. The Saveri Firm is now involved in 13 copyright lawsuits against AI companies, including filing the early lawsuits, Doe 1 v. Github and Andersen v. Stability AI.
It is involved in numerous book author lawsuits. We created the following graphic to show Saveri Law Firm’s network of AI copyright lawsuits.
Saveri Law Firm is not the only plaintiffs’ law firm filing numerous cases against AI companies.
We will take a closer look at the parallel litigation strategy popular among several law firms suing AI companies, in subsequent posts.
The lawsuit against Adobe alleges one count for direct copyright infringement.
