The lawsuit claims Anthropic has built a multibillion-dollar business by stealing hundreds of thousands of copyrighted books, without permission or fair compensation to authors.
The complaint highlights that the automated generation of book content by Claude is only possible due to training on a vast collection of copyrighted works.
By using datasets that include notorious pirated collections, the authors assert that Anthropic intentionally avoided licensing fees, thereby violating US copyright law.
The three authors argue that the proliferation of AI-generated titles undermines their income and devalues the work of human authors who take substantial time to produce books.
