Music Rightsholders Sue Suno and Anthropic Over AI Training Data Copyright Infringement
Reservoir Media and Authentic Brands Group, representing the Elvis Presley estate, have filed separate copyright infringement lawsuits against AI companies Suno and Anthropic. The lawsuits allege that both companies used extensive catalogs of copyrighted music, including tracks by Elvis Presley, Madonna, and Johnny Cash, to train their artificial intelligence models without obtaining proper licenses or permission. These legal actions claim that the unauthorized use of these musical works constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights. Reservoir Media is seeking up to $157.5 million from Suno for the alleged use of 1,050 songs, and is also suing Anthropic. Authentic Brands Group is suing Anthropic for the unauthorized use of 274 Elvis Presley songs, seeking damages reported to be either $41 million or $151 million. The plaintiffs argue that the AI models are designed to replace human artists, thereby devaluing their creative works. The total damages sought across all lawsuits are reported to be nearly $340 million.
