<p>Migration export</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>YouTuber Nicole Chmura filed a class action lawsuit against [[Snap Inc.]] on February 18, 2026, alleging the company circumvented YouTube&#039;s technological protection measures to mass-download copyrighted video content for training Snapchat&#039;s AI systems, in violation of the DMCA&#039;s anti-circumvention provisions (17 U.S.C. § 1201(a)).&lt;ref name=&quot;copyright-feb&quot;&gt;[https://copyrightalliance.org/copyright-stories-february-2026/ Copyright Alliance, &quot;Copyright Stories — February 2026&quot;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 2:26-cv-01732) before Judge Andre Birotte Jr., alleges that Snap used circumvention tools and services to defeat YouTube&#039;s streaming-only restrictions at scale, scraped video content systematically, and trained its AI models on the unlawfully obtained material without creator permission.&lt;ref name=&quot;copyright-feb&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> The suit is part of a growing wave of DMCA anti-circumvention lawsuits filed in early 2026 against AI companies, including similar actions against [[Businessing LLC v Runway AI Inc|Runway AI]], [[Ted Entertainment v OpenAI Inc|OpenAI]], and others. It expands AI copyright litigation beyond text-based training data into video content scraping.&lt;ref name=&quot;copyright-feb&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> As of late April 2026, no rulings on motions to dismiss have been reported.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Chmura v Snap Inc]] (case page)<br /> * [[Businessing LLC v Runway AI Inc]]<br /> * [[Ted Entertainment v OpenAI Inc]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Copyright Litigation]]<br /> [[Category:DMCA]]</div>
