Music publishers sue AI firm Anthropic over alleged song theft
Major music publishers are suing Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI chatbot, for allegedly using "tens of thousands" of copyrighted songs without permission. They claim Anthropic downloaded lyrics from pirate sites and other sources to train its AI models, then reproduced them in user responses. The lawsuit, filed in California, seeks billions in damages, with Anthropic denying the claims.
