Music publishers fire back at Anthropic in AI copyright lawsuit

Universal Music, ABKCO and Concord Music Group have told a Tennessee federal court that Anthropic is relying on falsehoods to defend against a lawsuit.
Music publishers Universal Music, ABKCO and Concord Music Group have told a Tennessee federal court that Anthropic is relying on falsehoods to defend against a lawsuit accusing the artificial intelligence company of misusing hundreds of their song lyrics.
The publishers said in a Wednesday court filing that Anthropic's chatbot Claude had been programmed to generate their lyrics, firing back at what they called "provably false" arguments that any reproduction of their work was a "bug, not a feature" of the program.
"Anthropic's own training data makes clear that it expected its AI models to respond to requests for Publishers' lyrics," the filing said. "In fact, Anthropic trained its models on prompts such as 'What are the lyrics to American Pie by Don McLean?'"
Representatives for Anthropic and the publishers did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
