The proposed class action, filed in the federal court in Northern California, said Apple copied protected works without consent and without credit or compensation.

“Apple has not attempted to pay these authors for their contributions to this potentially lucrative venture,” according to the lawsuit, filed by authors Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson.

The lawsuit is the latest in a wave of cases from authors, news outlets and others accusing major technology companies of violating legal protections for their works…

The lawsuit against Apple accused the company of using a known body of pirated books to train its “OpenELM” large language models.

Hendrix, who lives in New York, and Roberson in Arizona, said their works were part of the pirated dataset, according to the lawsuit.
