Elvis Presley 音乐版权方起诉 Anthropic，索赔约 4100 万美元
Elvis Presley’s music owners sued Anthropic for about $41M, alleging Claude was trained on 274 songs.
Authentic Brands Group 与多家共同持有 Elvis Presley 曲库的出版方提起联邦诉讼 ABE EPE LLC v. Anthropic，指控 Claude 在 274 首歌曲上接受训练，并按每首 15 万美元的故意侵权法定赔偿上限索赔约 4100 万美元。诉讼同时针对训练和输出，称 Claude 在 Anthropic 因早前出版方诉讼加入防护措施后仍复现了几乎全部在线曲库的内容，并引用 Claude 自述其改写保留了原曲结构和 hook。Anthropic 在诉讼首次报道时尚未回应，相关主张也未经法院审理；2025 年已有联邦法官裁定用合法购买的书籍训练 Claude 属合理使用，但输出中近似歌词的部分不在该裁决范围内。

Elvis Presley’s music owners sued Anthropic for about $41M, alleging Claude was trained on 274 songs.
Authentic Brands Group filed the federal case, ABE EPE LLC v. Anthropic, alongside several publishers that co-own the catalog.
Its demand multiplies those 274 works by $150K, the maximum statutory damages US copyright law allows per work for willful infringement.
It targets both training and outputs, alleging Claude reproduced material from nearly every song catalog online, even after Anthropic added guardrails following earlier publisher suits.
As evidence, it quotes Claude admitting that its rewrites of specific songs “for a modern audience” reused the originals’ structure and hooks with light rewording.
Anthropic had not responded when the suit was first reported, and no court has tested any of these claims.
In 2025, a federal judge ruled that training Claude on lawfully purchased books was fair use, a precedent Anthropic will likely cite against the training claims.
Near-copies of lyrics in Claude’s answers sit outside that ruling, so the case may hinge on how reliably Anthropic’s guardrails block them.
