Music publishers, including Concord Music Group and Warner Music Group, have initiated legal action against AI company Anthropic, alleging that the firm unlawfully downloaded in excess of 20,000 copyright-protected musical compositions. The damages claimed in the lawsuit could potentially exceed $3 billion, which, if realized, would make this one of the most substantial non - class - action copyright lawsuits in the annals of U.S. legal history.
It's worth noting that Anthropic has previously faced legal challenges from novelists. In those cases, while the judge determined that using copyrighted content to train models was within legal bounds, acquiring such content through piracy was deemed illegal. As a result of those earlier lawsuits, Anthropic was slapped with a $1.5 billion fine. On average, each affected writer received a compensation of $3,000 per work.
