Meta Platforms on Tuesday lost its fight against an ‌Italian regulatory order that it should compensate ‌publishers for using snippets of their news articles after Europe's top ​court sided with the Italian telecoms watchdog. The case underscores the ongoing copyright battle between publishers and creators and tech companies over the use of newspaper articles or ‌authors' work for ⁠AI training that have triggered litigation against companies including Meta, OpenAI and Anthropic for ⁠infringement. "The Court finds that a right to fair compensation for publishers is consistent with EU law, provided that ​that remuneration ​constitutes consideration for authorising ​their publications to be ‌used online," said the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
