Sony Music and Warner sue Anthropic over alleged music copyright theft
–
Neutral summary
Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, accusing the AI company and its leadership of “one of the largest and most blatant ongoing thefts of intellectual property in history.” The publishers claim Anthropic illegally downloaded and used tens of thousands of copyrighted songs to train its Claude model, stripping identifying copyright data in the process. They are seeking up to $150,000 per work and up to $25,000 for each instance of removed copyright management information. The case follows Anthropic’s July agreement to pay $1.5 billion to authors over similar claims involving books.
