ItalySony Music and Warner Music have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging that the AI company committed one of the largest intellectual property thefts in history by illegally training its models using thousands of copyrighted musical compositions. The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California and includes Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei, and co-founder Benjamin Mann as defendants. According to Axios, this legal action could mark the beginning of a prolonged battle over music rights, artificial intelligence, and intellectual property protection in the modern technological era. If proven, the damages sought by the record labels could reach billions of dollars. This follows a similar case in September 2025 where Anthropic paid $1.5 billion to 500,000 authors for unauthorized use of millions of works. Recently, OpenAI has also faced allegations from Apple for stealing trade secrets and intellectual property related to AI hardware development.
