Dutch-American multinational record label Universal Music Group and other music publishers have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic – an artificial intelligence startup – for using its AI model Claude 2 to distribute lyrics that are protected by copyright. UMG is seeking $75 million in damages.

Universal Music Group claims users can prompt Claude 2 to generate lyrics that are nearly exact replicas of other songs. The lawsuit filed in Tennessee mentioned examples such as the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” and Katy Perry’s “Roar.”

Furthermore, the group of publishers also allege that the generative AI model uses phrases similar to existing songs even when not asked to recreate songs. They cited examples of prompts that led to Claude 2 generating exact lyrics of notable songs.
