"BMG accuses Anthropic of raiding licensed music libraries MusicMatch, LyricFind, and torrent sites which themselves might be illegal containers of music."
"BMG is seeking damages up to $150,000 per work, if the infringement is deemed to be willful."
"Anthropic does not seem to claim that the songs were not used, but that the data is transformed into new and original content."
"BMG seems to be bringing a moral tone to the legal skirmish: 'Anthropic's practice of training AI models on copyrighted works sourced from unauthorized torrent sites...stands in direct opposition to the standards required of any responsible participant in the AI community.'"
BMG Rights Management has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging the unauthorized use of nearly 500 songs to train its Claude AI chatbot. The lawsuit claims that Anthropic accessed licensed music libraries and torrent sites for this purpose. BMG is seeking damages of up to $150,000 per work if infringement is found to be willful. Anthropic's defense relies on the fair use doctrine, arguing that the data is transformed into new content. BMG emphasizes the ethical implications of using copyrighted works from unauthorized sources.
