The copyright holders of Elvis Presley's songs have filed a class action lawsuit against Anthropic, a developer of artificial intelligence models and the creator of the Claude chatbot.
The plaintiffs accused the company of copyright infringement, saying Anthropic used Presley's songs to train AI models without their permission. The lawsuit names 274 songs, including hits like "Everything Shakes", "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Return to Sender". The rights holders, including licensing company Authentic Brands Group, demanded more than $41 million in compensation from Anthropic, or $150,000 per song. Anthropic did not agree to the charges and intends to defend itself in court. This is not the first such lawsuit against Anthropic in the past week. In the past, the music company Reservoir accused the entrepreneur Claude of infringing the copyrights of several songs by different artists, including "Big Yellow Cab" by Joni Mitchell and "Daddy Don't Preach" by Madonna. At the time, Anthropic also disagreed with the allegations. Open a website Mirror | telegram.
