From a report: Universal and two other music companies allege that Anthropic scrapes their songs without permission and uses them to generate &#8220;identical or nearly identical copies of those lyrics&#8221; via Claude, its rival to ChatGPT. When Claude is asked for lyrics to the song &#8220;I Will Survive&#8221; by Gloria Gaynor, for example, it responds with &#8220;a nearly word-for-word copy of those lyrics,&#8221; Universal, Concord, and ABKCO said in a filing with a US court in Nashville, Tennessee. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This copyrighted material is not free for the taking simply because it can be found on the Internet,&#8221; the music companies said, while claiming that Anthropic had &#8220;never even attempted&#8221; to license their copyrighted work. The lawsuit comes as the music industry is grappling with the rise of AI technology that can produce &#8220;deepfake&#8221; songs that mimic the voices, lyrics, or sound of established musicians. The issue drew attention earlier this year after an AI-produced song that mimicked the voices of Drake and The Weeknd spread online.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Universal+Music+Sues+AI+Startup+Anthropic+For+Scraping+Song+Lyrics%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F19%2F1549211%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/twitter_icon_large-737.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyro.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F19%2F1549211%2Funiversal-music-sues-ai-startup-anthropic-for-scraping-song-lyrics%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/facebook_icon_large-368.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yro.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/19\/1549211\/universal-music-sues-ai-startup-anthropic-for-scraping-song-lyrics?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/yro.slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/19\/1549211\/universal-music-sues-ai-startup-anthropic-for-scraping-song-lyrics?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universal Music Sues AI Startup Anthropic For Scraping Song Lyrics<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universal Music has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic, as the world&#8217;s largest music group battles against chatbots that churn out its artists&#8217; lyrics.
