Copyright infringement lawsuit against Anthropic

A $3 billion lawsuit has been filed against Anthropic by a group of music publishers. The main charge is large-scale copyright infringement, with the unauthorized use of approximately 20,000 musical works.

Initially, the lawsuit concerned the use of about 500 copyrighted works, but it was later expanded.

This lawsuit is part of a broader context of legal disputes between copyright holders and companies developing artificial intelligence models. Music publishers argue that the use of their works to train Anthropic's language models constitutes copyright infringement and are seeking compensation for damages suffered.
