Three YouTubers accuse Apple of illegal scraping to train its AI models
"The creators claimed that Apple's video scraping was used to train its generative AI products, adding that the tech giant's 'massive financial success would not have been possible without the video content created' by the YouTubers."
"While the YouTubers' videos are available to watch on the platform, the lawsuit alleged that Apple illegally circumvented the 'controlled streaming architecture' that regular users are limited to."
Three YouTube channels, h3h3 Productions, MrShortGameGolf, and Golfholics, have filed a class action lawsuit against Apple. The lawsuit claims Apple violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by scraping copyrighted videos from YouTube to train its AI models. The creators allege that Apple circumvented the controlled streaming architecture that limits regular users. They argue that Apple's financial success relies on the content created by these YouTubers. Similar lawsuits have been filed against other tech companies for copyright violations related to AI training.
