Elvis Presley rights holders lawsuit against Anthropic

Overview

Rights holders of Elvis Presley’s musical catalog, including Authentic Brands Group, Raleigh Music Publishing, and Abilene Music, filed a lawsuit against AI developer Anthropic in a California federal court. The plaintiffs allege that Anthropic used 274 copyrighted songs to train its Claude AI assistant without authorization or compensation. The complaint claims Anthropic bypassed digital rights management protections and altered copyright management information.

The lawsuit seeks damages ranging from approximately $41.1 million to $48.6 million. Plaintiffs further allege that Claude can generate lyrics, melodies, and choruses that are substantially similar to Presley’s original works, such as “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”

Anthropic has denied the allegations and stated its intention to defend itself, citing the US “fair use” principle as the legal basis for its training methods. This legal action follows similar challenges against the company from other entities, including Universal Music Group and Reservoir.
