Elvis Presley's rights holder sues Anthropic over 274 songs allegedly used to train AI models
Authentic Brands Group, the licensing company that owns the rights to Elvis Presley's music and likeness, filed a lawsuit against Anthropic on Friday in a US court, alleging the company infringed copyright on 274 Presley songs, including "Can't Help Falling in Love," by using them to train its models without permission. The case, first reported by Billboard, adds to a growing list of music-industry lawsuits against Anthropic, following Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell's suit in August and the $1.5 billion settlement with book authors in July. For any business relying on AI tools in its operations, the case shows that copyright risk tied to a model's training data doesn't disappear with one settlement, it keeps multiplying as different rights holders file their own claims.
