Amazon has been hit with a lawsuit by content creators who allege that the company wrongly scraped their YouTube videos in order to train the generative artificial intelligence system Nova Reel, which aims to create videos from text prompts.
“Rather than seek permission or pay a fair price for the audiovisual content hosted on YouTube, defendant harvested content creators’ protected and copyrighted videos for commercial use and at scale without consent or compensation to the content creators,” Ted Entertainment (which operates YouTube channels including h3h3 Productions), Matt Fisher (who creates golf videos that he posts to the YouTube channel MrShortGame Golf) and Golfholics allege in a class-action complaint filed late last week in Seattle federal court.
