PHSony Music and Warner Music have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging that the AI company improperly used copyrighted song lyrics and sheet music from artists like The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson to train its Claude AI models. The lawsuit claims Anthropic pirated these works, seeking damages of up to $150,000 per infringement. This follows similar lawsuits against Anthropic by other copyright holders, including Universal Music Group. Anthropic previously settled a $1.5 billion lawsuit but now faces accusations that its AI training constitutes copyright theft. The company argues that AI training falls under fair use and will defend itself vigorously.
Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue as a clear violation of intellectual property rights by Anthropic, emphasizing the financial stakes and suggesting that the company profits from 'copyright theft.' While the legal arguments are presented neutrally, the tone leans toward criticizing Anthropic's business模型
