What happened

On 10 July 2026, Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, Elsevier, author Scott Turow and S.C.R.I.B.E., Inc. filed a proposed class action complaint against Google LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:26-cv-05870). The complaint alleges that Google copied millions of copyrighted books and journal articles without permission to build and train its Gemini AI models (the complaint treats LaMDA, PaLM, Bard and Gemini together as the models at issue).

According to the complaint, the works came through three channels: books supplied for limited uses in Google Books, Google Play Books and Google Scholar; web scrapes of the internet, including material the complaint says came from pirate sites and from behind paywalls; and repeated copying of those works into memory, into training formats, and from one model generation to the next. The complaint brings three Copyright Act reproduction claims covering those stages, plus a claim under DMCA § 1202(b) alleging Google stripped copyright management information — author names, titles and similar identifiers — from the works it copied.

Why it may matter to you

If your books, textbooks or journal articles were distributed through Google Books, Google Play Books or Google Scholar, or published on the open web, the complaint alleges they may have been copied for AI training under agreements that, the plaintiffs say, never authorised that use. The proposed class would cover authors and publishers whose works were copied in this way.

What is not yet known

These are allegations in a complaint, not findings. Google has not been found liable, the proposed class has not been certified, and no court has ruled on whether the alleged copying is infringement or fair use. The complaint's claim that Google removed copyright information before training is a separate legal theory from the training question itself, and it has not been tested in this case.
