Over 4,200 homebuyers get relief as Supreme Court restores insolvency plans for Earth Infra's projects

Over 4,200 homebuyers get relief as Supreme Court restores insolvency plans for Earth Infra's projects The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted relief to over 4,200 home and office space buyers of the stalled Earth Infrastructures Limited projects which is currently under corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP)[Alpha Corp Development Vs Greater Noida]. A Bench of Justices PV Sanjay Kumar and Alok Aradhe restored the resolution plans submitted by two firms, Roma Unicon Designex Consortium and Alpha Corp Development Private Limited, for the completion of the projects The Court also criticised the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) for its persistent inaction and ineptitude. "The inertia on the part of GNIDA and its failure to protect the interests of the home/office space buyers, apart from its own interests, clearly disentitles it from levying penal interest/penal charges/time-extension penalties at this stage," the Court said. However, it permitted recovery of principal amount. Earth Infrastructures Limited was developing several real estate projects through its subsidiaries and related entities. GNIDA had leased land for three projects - Earth Towne, Earth TechOne and Earth Sapphire Court. Home and office space buyers booked units in these projects and paid substantial amounts. In 2018, a financial creditor, Deepak Khanna, initiated insolvency proceedings against Earth Infrastructures Limited before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Major publishers sue Meta for copyright infringement over AI training

Major publishers sue Meta for copyright infringement over AI training - International - 2 min read Major publishers sue Meta for copyright infringement over AI training PUBLISHERS-META-COPYRIGHT-Major publishers sue Meta for copyright infringement over AI training By Blake Brittain - Publishers Elsevier, Cengage, Hachette, Macmillan and McGraw Hill sued Meta Platforms in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, alleging that the tech giant misused their books and journal articles to train its artificial intelligence model Llama. The publishers, as well as author Scott Turow, alleged in the proposed class action complaint that Meta pirated millions of their works and used them without permission to train its large language models to respond to human prompts. "AI is powering transformative innovations, productivity and creativity for individuals and companies, and courts have rightly found that training AI on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use," a Meta spokesperson responded in a statement on Tuesday. "We will fight this lawsuit aggressively." The publishers allege that Meta pirated works ranging from textbooks to scientific articles to novels including "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin and "The Wild Robot" by Peter Brown for its AI training. They asked the court for permission to represent a larger class of copyright owners and an unspecified amount of monetary damages. "Meta's mass-scale infringement isn't public progress, and AI will never be properly realized if tech companies prioritize pirate sites over scholarship and imagination," Maria Pallante, president of the Association of American Publishers, said in a statement. The lawsuit opens a new front in the ongoing copyright battle between creators and tech companies over AI training, in which dozens of authors, news outlets, visual artists and other plaintiffs have sued…
