Judge Hixon ordered Meta to provide fuller answers identifying everyone who made, authorized, or approved decisions to obtain or download shadow libraries, rejecting the company’s attempts to narrow its responses. Meta argued that early dataset acquisition for Llama 1 and 2 involved informal processes and collaborative discussions without a single decision-maker. Hixon said the requests covered informal decisions and all decision-makers. The judge also required Meta to answer questions about pirated works that were not used for AI training.
