Elvis Presley estate sues Anthropic over AI training claims
The Elvis Presley estate filed a lawsuit against Anthropic in New York on October 23rd alleging copyright infringement regarding artificial intelligence model training.
Lawsuit details and specific claims
Stakeholders representing the estate accuse Anthropic of using 274 songs without permission to train its models. The plaintiffs claim the company bypassed digital rights management protections on these tracks. They are seeking $41 million in compensation for this alleged unauthorized use.
Scope of the affected catalog
The complaint lists hits such as Don't Be Cruel and Can't Help Falling in Love among the disputed works. Anthropic allegedly altered copyright management information on 247 of the songs involved in the dispute. The lawsuit argues that building a business model on this scale represents unprecedented infringement.
