Three YouTube content creators, Ted Entertainment Inc., Matt Fisher, and Golfholics Inc., the company behind H3H3 Productions and H3 Podcast Highlights, have filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Amazon for allegedly scraping their videos to train Nova Reel, its generative video AI model. The lawsuit alleges that Amazon bypassed YouTube’s technical protections by using virtual machines and rotating IP addresses to scrape their videos without consent and feed them into training datasets for Nova Reeling, a model available through Amazon Bedrock. The complaint uses Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which prohibits bypassing technological protection measures put in place by copyright holders to restrict access to their works. The plaintiffs are seeking both damages and injunctive relief, potentially forcing Amazon to stop distributing a model trained in part on their content or retrain it without the disputed material.
