Sony Music, Warner accuse Anthropic of ‘blatant theft’ in major new lawsuit

Some of the world's largest music publishers, including Sony Music and Warner, have launched a major new lawsuit against artificial intelligence giant Anthropic. The publishers accuse the company of conducting what they describe as "one of the largest and most blatant ongoing thefts of intellectual property in history."

The legal action adds to the growing number of legal challenges currently facing Anthropic as the broader technology industry grapples with the copyright and intellectual property implications of training and operating large language models.
