How the e-mails work

Uses the search, kind and company you set above (not the month or sort). As we post means within about 15 minutes of a new item; digests go out in the morning, U.S. Central time, weekly on Mondays, and only when something new matches. Updates start right away, and every e-mail has a one-click unsubscribe. If you tick Catch me up, the earlier items that match also come two a day, oldest first, each morning until you are up to date; you can stop that alone from any e-mail. Someone you invite gets one e-mail asking them to accept, and nothing more unless they do; we don’t tell them who invited them. Privacy.

Company filingMarch 4, 2026Nazemian v. NVIDIA Corp. · N.D. Cal. 4:24-cv-01454

NVIDIA says it is producing files labeled Anna's Archive, LibGen, Z-Library, Sci-Hub and Pirate Library Mirror, and that the labels admit nothing

In a joint discovery letter, NVIDIA's lawyers say the company has produced 5.5 terabytes of data and is working to produce 600 terabytes more, including model checkpoints and any files labeled with versions of an 8-trillion-token dataset, The Pile, RedPajama, SlimPajama, Anna's Archive, LibGen, Z-Library, Sci-Hub and Pirate Library Mirror. NVIDIA adds that the names reflect internal naming conventions and are not "an admission regarding provenance, contents, identity, authorship, completeness, scope, public availability, or use." The authors say NVIDIA has refused to say which libraries it used and that its written answers contained only objections; they quote an earlier order calling NVIDIA's refusal to give discovery on the new allegations self-help. Three months later, NVIDIA's answer admitted downloading from libgen.rs and from Anna's Archive's datasets page for research. NVIDIA's statements here are its lawyers' in a letter to the court.

What the labels mean

Every item says what kind of source it rests on. A court ruling or order is the court's own statement. A company filing is what a defendant says about itself. A government filing is a statement by a government agency that is not a party to the case, such as a statement of interest; it is the government's position, not a ruling. An allegation is what a complaint or motion claims and has not been decided. Reported means press reporting we have not confirmed from the primary document. Summaries are our own; follow the links for the source.

This page is general information, not legal advice. An allegation is not a finding. Whether any of this matters for a particular work or claim is a question for a lawyer.
