Sony, Warner Music Sue Anthropic in AI Copyright Lawsuit
The publishers say Anthropic trained Claude on tens of thousands of songs without permission and seek damages of up to $150,000 per work.
- Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell Music filed a federal lawsuit late Friday in the Northern District of California against Anthropic, CEO Dario Amodei, and co-founder Benjamin Mann, alleging massive copyright infringement.
- The plaintiffs allege Anthropic illegally acquired thousands of musical compositions by scraping licensed sites and torrenting pirated books to train Claude, describing the conduct as a 'brazen campaign' of copyright theft.
- Specific songs allegedly harvested include "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Livin' On a Prayer," with publishers seeking up to $150,000 per infringed work plus $25,000 for each removed copyright management instance.
- Demanding a jury trial, Sony and Warner Chappell argue Anthropic treats past settlements as the 'cost of doing business' while building a $2 trillion company using unauthorized works.
- Litigation from authors and publishers including Universal Music Group preceded this suit, marking an intensifying legal battle over intellectual property protection as AI companies expand their training methods.
