猫王音乐版权方起诉 Anthropic 索赔 4100 万美元
Authentic Brands Group 代表猫王音乐版权方对 Anthropic 提起联邦诉讼，指控 Claude 模型在训练数据中非法使用了 274 首歌曲，并索赔约 4100 万美元。案件核心争议在于模型输出是否构成侵权以及此前关于“合法购买书籍用于训练属合理使用”的判例能否延伸至音乐领域。

Elvis Presley’s music owners sued Anthropic for about $41M, alleging Claude was trained on 274 songs.
Authentic Brands Group filed the federal case, ABE EPE LLC v. Anthropic, alongside several publishers that co-own the catalog.
Its demand multiplies those 274 works by $150K, the maximum statutory damages US copyright law allows per work for willful infringement.
It targets both training and outputs, alleging Claude reproduced material from nearly every song catalog online, even after Anthropic added guardrails following earlier publisher suits.
As evidence, it quotes Claude admitting that its rewrites of specific songs “for a modern audience” reused the originals’ structure and hooks with light rewording.
Anthropic had not responded when the suit was first reported, and no court has tested any of these claims.
In 2025, a federal judge ruled that training Claude on lawfully purchased books was fair use, a precedent Anthropic will likely cite against the training claims.
Near-copies of lyrics in Claude’s answers sit outside that ruling, so the case may hinge on how reliably Anthropic’s guardrails block them.
