YouTube Creators Sue Apple Over Alleged Illegal Video Scraping for AI Training
A group of YouTube creators, including those behind h3h3Productions and popular golf channels, has launched a class-action lawsuit against Apple. They're accusing the tech giant of illegally scraping millions of YouTube videos to train AI models, a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The creators claim that Apple's actions represent an "unconscionable assault" on content creators who aren't compensated for the use of their content. The lawsuit seeks class certification, damages, and court orders against further use of the scraped data.
