Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group have amended their copyright lawsuit against AI music generator Suno, arguing its newly released v6 models still rely on infringing material. The labels claim Suno's own admission that v6 was trained partly on 'user interactions' with earlier models means it indirectly used previously scraped copyrighted recordings, potentially implicating over 60,000 songs.
Sony Music and Warner have filed a copyright lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the AI company scraped and used their song catalogs without permission to train its models. This follows a similar suit from Universal Music Group in January, meaning all three major music publishers are now pursuing legal action against Anthropic.
Sony Music and Warner filed a lawsuit against Anthropic late Friday, alleging the AI company trained its Claude models on tens of thousands of copyrighted song lyrics and compositions without permission. The publishers are seeking up to $150,000 per infringed work plus $25,000 for each instance of stripped copyright data, potentially totaling billions in damages, and cite songs like 'Livin' on a Prayer' and 'Hallelujah' among the works allegedly used.
Sony Music Publishing, Warner Chappell and other music publishers have filed suit against Anthropic and its co-founders Dario Amodei and Benjamin Mann in a California federal court, accusing the AI company of torrenting and scraping copyrighted song lyrics and sheet music to train its Claude models. Anthropic says it disagrees with the claims and plans to fight the case in court.
Sony Music and Warner Chappell have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic in federal court in California, accusing the company of using tens of thousands of copyrighted songs and lyrics to train its Claude AI models without permission. The complaint names Anthropic's co-founders Dario Amodei and Benjamin Mann individually, alleging they pirated millions of books via BitTorrent and scraped lyrics from licensed sites like MusixMatch and LyricFind. The publishers are seeking damages that could total billions of dollars if courts award the maximum penalties per work.
The Australian Recording Industry Association will bar songs wholly created by generative AI from its official charts starting this Friday. Tracks that use AI tools may still qualify, but only if they are substantially human-made and free of streaming or chart manipulation concerns. Songs deemed ineligible for the charts will also be barred from ARIA Awards consideration.
