To me, it just seems...

To me, I don't think this one's going to do as well.

So I think originally the music publishers sued Anthropic over about 500 copyrighted works.

But then during discovery in the case, they saw that they found more evidence.

Anthropic had downloaded thousands more.

And so after the court denied their attempt to amend the original lawsuit, which basically they said there was failure to investigate this earlier.

Right.

They're kind of like, look, this scope is getting bigger and bigger.

And so that kind of got shut down.

After that, then the publishers filed a separate lawsuit.

And that case also said the Anthropic CEO, Dario Amadeo, who's the co-founder, and also Benjamin Mann were like the defendants.

So they're going straight after the CEO on this.

These lawsuits always have like really intense claims inside of them.

So this is an interesting line from this particular lawsuit.

It said, while Anthropic is misleading claims to be an AI safety and research company and

its record of illegal torrenting of copyrighted works makes clear that its multi-billion dollar business empire has in fact been built on piracy and I think like yeah it has definitely been helped by that in a lot of ways I think they paid their fines for that this this lawsuit in particular it's

crazy to me because originally it was 500 pieces of work and then they they found like more they're like okay whole new lawsuit 20 000 um and they want three billion dollars i would be i'd be blown away if they got the three billion dollars if they pirated like 20 000 things sure pay up the same way they had to pay up for their other lawsuit um but that's gonna be you know

less than 10% of that lawsuit.

It's going to be a fraction.

And so I think the lawyers here might be getting a little bit too, a little bit too excited about the payday and smashing the piggy bank.
