The Great Return Of Piracy In Big Tech

Piracy never actually died... it just moved into corporate headquarters. In this deep-dive investigation, we expose how Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta got caught doing the exact same thing that used to get regular people dragged into federal court, at a scale nobody could have imagined. Court documents reveal 81.7 terabytes of pirated books secretly torrented to train AI models, a $1.5 billion settlement, a $10 billion lawsuit, and internal emails that expose exactly how far Big Tech went to build their AI empires. This is the story Silicon Valley doesn't want you connecting the dots on. We break down the Anthropic book piracy settlement, the Meta Llama torrenting scandal signed off by a company Vice President, the Microsoft GitHub Copilot lawsuit, and the OpenAI copyright cases now worth over $10 billion combined, all backed by unsealed court filings and verified reporting.
