What happened
Elsevier, Cengage, Hachette, Macmillan, McGraw Hill, S.C.R.I.B.E. and Scott Turow — whose class action against Meta and Mark Zuckerberg was transferred from S.D.N.Y. (1:26-cv-03689) to N.D. Cal. (now 4:26-cv-11415) — filed an administrative motion (Kadrey Dkt. 871) asking that their case be reassigned to Judge Chhabria as a related case.
What the filing argues
Both suits concern Meta's training of Llama on downloaded collections of pirated books and journal articles and its torrenting, and keeping them before one judge avoids duplicated work and conflicting results. The motion states that Meta agrees the cases are related. Responses are due October 19. The court has not ruled.
