\n\tUniversal Music Group (UMG) wants a federal judge to immediately block artificial intelligence company Anthropic PBC from using copyrighted music to train future AI models, warning that the \u201cdamage will be done\u201d by the time the case is over.<\/p>\n

\n\tA month after UMG sued Anthropic for infringement<\/a> over its use of copyrighted music to train its AI models, the music giant on Thursday demanded a preliminary injunction that will prohibit the AI firm from continuing to use its songs while the case plays out in court.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe music giant warned that denying its request would allow Anthropic \u201cto continue using the Works as inputs, this time to train a more-powerful Claude, magnifying the already-massive harm to Publishers and songwriters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnthropic must not be allowed to flout copyright law,\u201d UMG\u2019s lawyers wrote. \u201cIf the Court waits until this litigation ends to address what is already clear\u2014that Anthropic is improperly using Publishers\u2019 copyrighted works\u2014then the damage will be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnthropic has already usurped Publishers\u2019 and songwriters\u2019 control over the use of their works, denied them credit, and jeopardized their reputations,\u201d the company wrote. \u201cIf unchecked, Anthropic\u2019s wanton copying will also irreversibly harm the licensing market for lyrics, Publishers\u2019 relationships with licensees, and their goodwill with the songwriters they represent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUMG filed its lawsuit Oct 18, marking the first major case in what is expected to be a key legal battle over the future of AI music. Joined by Concord Music Group, ABKCO and other music companies, UMG claims that Anthropic \u2013 valued at $4.1 billion earlier this year \u2014 is violating copyrights en masse by using songs without authorization to teach its AI models learn how to spit out new lyrics.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn the process of building and operating AI models, Anthropic unlawfully copies and disseminates vast amounts of copyrighted works,\u201d lawyers for the music companies wrote. \u201cPublishers embrace innovation and recognize the great promise of AI when used ethically and responsibly. But Anthropic violates these principles on a systematic and widespread basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAI models like the popular ChatGPT are \u201ctrained\u201d to produce new content by feeding them vast quantities of existing works known as \u201cinputs.\u201d Whether doing so infringes the copyrights to that underlying material is something of an existential question for the booming sector, since depriving AI models of new inputs could limit their abilities. Content owners in many sectors \u2013 including book authors, comedians and visual artists \u2013 have all filed similar lawsuits over training.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnthropic and other AI firms believe that such training is protected by copyright\u2019s fair use doctrine \u2014 an important rule that allows people to reuse protected works without breaking the law. In a filing at the Copyright Office<\/a> last month, Anthropic previewed how it might make such argument in UMG\u2019s lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe copying is merely an intermediate step, extracting unprotectable elements about the entire corpus of works, in order to create new outputs,\u201d the company wrote in that filing. \u201cThis sort of transformative use has been recognized as lawful in the past and should continue to be considered lawful in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut in Thursday\u2019s motion for the injunction, UMG and the music companies sharply disputed such a notion, saying plainly: \u201cAnthropic\u2019s infringement is not fair use\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnthropic \u2026 may argue that generative AI companies can facilitate immense value to society and should be excused from complying with copyright law to foster their rapid growth,\u201d UMG wrote. \u201cUndisputedly, Anthropic will be a more valuable company if it can avoid paying for the content on which it admittedly relies, but that should hardly compel the Court to provide it a get-out-of-jail-free card for its wholesale theft of copyrighted content.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA spokesperson for Anthropic did not immediately return a request for comment on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
