Dynamic Beating AI News: On Friday evening, publishing entities under Sony Music and Warner Music filed a lawsuit against Anthropic in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, naming Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei and co-founder Benjamin Mann as defendants, accusing them of large-scale copyright infringement in the development and operation of the Claude AI model series. In a 48-page complaint, the plaintiffs allege that Anthropic obtained copyrighted works through illegal scraping, downloading, and seeding, and used “tens of thousands” of musical works to train its models—far exceeding the scale of BMG’s prior lawsuit involving 493 works. The plaintiffs also accuse Anthropic of pirating thousands of copyrighted musical works and seek damages of hundreds of thousands of dollars per infringed work. Anthropic responded: “We disagree with the publishers’ allegations and will vigorously defend ourselves in court.” Previously, in September 2025, Anthropic reached a $1.5 billion copyright settlement with authors and publishers.
