Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic says it will defend itself against a lawsuit alleging that Claude’s training used 274 Elvis Presley songs without permission. The rights holders are seeking up to $48.6 million, according to Anadolu Ajansı.
Why it mattersThe report says the plaintiffs are seeking $150,000 for each allegedly infringed song, totalling $41.1 million, with additional damages bringing their stated demand to $48.6 million. Those are the plaintiffs’ claims, not findings by a court. Anadolu Ajansı says Anthropic told NBC News: “We disagree with the claims and intend to defend this case fully.” The dispute concerns alleged use of copyrighted songs in AI training, a concrete test of where music rights and model development collide.
Discuss: Should AI companies have to disclose what copyrighted material went into training, or should the burden be on rights holders to prove specific use?
