Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно The Verge, Sony Music Publishing и Warner Chappell Music подали в федеральный окружной суд Северного округа Калифорнии иск против Anthropic, требуя компенсацию ущерба за "десятки тысяч" защищенных авторским правом произведений. Они обвиняют Anthropic в массовом незаконном скачивании, сборе и распространении защищенных авторским правом произведений для разработки и обучения AI-моделей серии Claude. Истцы требуют максимальную компенсацию в размере 150 000 долларов за каждое произведение и дополнительно до 25 000 долларов за каждое удаление идентифицируемых данных об авторском праве.Кроме иска против Anthropic, в исковом заявлении также указаны соучредители Дарио Амодеи и Бенджамин Манн как личные ответчики.
