Strike 3 Holdings asked a California federal court to relate a John Doe copyright case to its separate lawsuit accusing Meta of downloading films through BitTorrent for AI-model training, TorrentFreak reported. Strike 3 alleges the subscriber behind a residential AT&T connection is a Meta Reality Labs executive and seeks to use the activity in the broader case. Meta said it could not verify the subscriber's identity and argued that nothing ties the alleged downloads to the company.
