And it's like, well, it's copyrighted.

The lyrics are copyrighted.

And I'm sure this just got sucked up and Anthropic kind of scraping the whole internet for blogs or whatever, like Google and OpenAI and everyone else did.

So it's interesting to me.

It's an interesting angle on a lawsuit is, you know, 20,000.

Well, I mean, there's like millions of songs in the world, but

Let's say they grabbed the lyrics for 20,000, quote, copyrighted works, musical compositions.

I think that's very interesting.

So Universal Music Group claims the potential damages could exceed $3 billion, making this one of the largest non-class action lawsuit cases in U.S.

history.

So to me, this is honestly kind of ludicrous.

20,000 lyrics for 20,000 songs, let's say, for $3 billion in damages.

So the lawsuit was filed by the same legal team, which is behind the Barts versus Anthropic.

This is basically a case where the authors are accusing them of training their models on copyrighted books.

In that case, Judge William Alsop ruled that training AI models on copyrighted materials can be legal, but that requiring the content

but that acquiring the content through piracy is not.

Basically what Anthropic did is they actually, and like, I think Anthropic was definitely in the wrong in that case.

They went and to like a pirated website and downloaded like all the books in the world and just kind of like downloaded them off of a pirated website.

So that is bad.

After Anthropic did that, they then went and purchased like every book they could.
