Judge Leans Toward Tossing Part of Music Publishers’ AI Copyright Suit
America ı By Rochdi Rais

Anthropicâs lawyer, Sarang Damle of Latham & Watkins LLP, countered that the presence of guardrails indicates only that the company anticipated potential issues, not that it had specific knowledge of infringement.
Dispute Over Content Management Information
The plaintiffs also allege that Anthropic intentionally removed or altered electronic copyright management information (CMI) from song lyrics used to train Claude. This would constitute a violation of the Copyright Act.
Damle, however, dismissed this claim as "conclusory," stating there was no direct evidence that Anthropic had removed any CMI.
In a previous filing, the music publishers alleged that the stripped CMI included critical details such as the title, author, copyright owner, and usage terms, which they argue is a significant violation.
Broader Implications
The case raises pivotal questions about how copyright law applies to AI training data. Anthropic, founded by former executives of OpenAI, has positioned itself as a leader in responsible AI development, making the case particularly consequential for the burgeoning industry.
The lawsuit was filed by several prominent music publishers, including Universal Music Corp., ABKCO Music Inc., and Concord Music Group. The publishers claim that Anthropic trained Claude on copyrighted lyrics without obtaining the necessary licenses, violating their rights.
Anthropic is represented by Joseph R. Wetzel, Andrew M. Gass, Brittany N. Lovejoy, Sarang V. Damle, and Allison L. Stillman of Latham & Watkins LLP. The music publishers are represented by a team of attorneys from Oppenheim & Zebrak LLP, Cowan Liebowitz & Latman PC, and Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass LLP.
The case, Concord Music Group Inc. et al. v. Anthropic PBC, case number 3:24-cv-03811, is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
