Did Austin Beaulier's own opposition brief make his weak-ass lawsuit even weaker?

That's exactly what Meta argues in its latest reply brief—and that means this filing could become one of the most damaging responses we've seen in the AI copyright litigation.

Instead of simply arguing that the complaint is legally insufficient, Meta repeatedly points to Beaulier's own allegations and shows they defeat his claims. Even worse, Meta argues that the opposition brief doesn't fix those problems—it actually highlights them.

What we find is, Beaulier screwed up his Complaint, so he tried to retcon it in his brief.

But as Meta argues, there was no actionable removal of copyright management information (CMI) under the DMCA. Beaulier's own complaint describes that "removal" as an "inherent consequence" of AI training—not an intentional act. And that is fatal to the DMCA's scienter requirements.

And then there was the claim that Meta distributed the data to... Well, why should I give away the juicy parts?

And just wait 'til we get to the allegation that Meta says "pleads him out of court"!

I can't write satire this good!
