Elvis Presley IP Owners Sue Anthropic Over Copyright Infringement
The suit says Claude generated unlicensed derivative works and seeks about $41 million, or $150,000 per song, from 274 alleged infringements.
- Anthropic urged a California federal judge on Wednesday to rule that training its chatbot Claude on copyrighted song lyrics qualifies as "fair use" under U.S. copyright law.
- Universal Music Group, Concord Music Group, and ABKCO sued Anthropic in 2023, alleging the firm trained Claude using copyrighted lyrics from artists including Beyonce, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys.

- Judge Eumi Lee pressed both sides on whether AI-generated lyrics threaten the market for publishers' copyrighted works during Wednesday's hearing in San Jose but did not issue a ruling.
- Future rulings could significantly impact pending lawsuits against OpenAI, Meta Platforms, and other tech giants, as Northern California judges remain split on whether generative AI training qualifies as "fair use.
