A coalition of music publishers, led by Concord Music Group and Universal Music Group, has filed a lawsuit against AI firm Anthropic, alleging that the company illegally downloaded more than 20,000 copyrighted songs, sheet music, lyrics, and compositions. The publishers claim that the unauthorized use could result in damages exceeding $3 billion, making it one of the largest non‑class‑action copyright cases in U.S. history. The suit also names Anthropic’s chief executive Dario Amodei and co‑founder Benjamin Mann as defendants, accusing the company of building its business on piracy despite its public safety‑focused branding.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup has refused to give preliminary approval to a record‑breaking $1.5 billion settlement that Anthropic reached with a class of authors alleging the AI company used pirated works to train its large language models.

He gave the parties a deadline to submit a finalized list of works by September 15 and required court‑approved notice and claim forms by early October before any settlement can move forward.

Anthropic has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by a group of authors alleging unauthorized use of copyrighted works to train its artificial‑intelligence models. The settlement, whose financial terms remain undisclosed, allows the company to avoid a potentially costly court ruling.

This marks another legal encounter for Anthropic, following earlier disputes with the music industry. Leer más →
