Judge rejects bid to block Anthropic from using song lyrics for AI training
- A judge in California has rejected a bid from Universal Music Group (UMG) and other publishers to block their lyrics from being used by Anthropic to train its chatbot, Claude.
- The judge deemed the scope of the requested injunction to be too broad and insufficiently defined.
- However, the publishers were granted discovery orders to strengthen their legal arguments, and they plan to pursue significant damages from Anthropic.
- Legal challenges against AI companies for the use of copyrighted material continue, and protective measures have been approved to prevent AI-generated song lyrics from being reproduced in outputs.

- The case dates back to 2023 when UMG and other publishers sued Anthropic for copyright infringement, accusing them of using and distributing copyrighted material.
- In January of this year, both parties reached a partial agreement with Anthropic agreeing to maintain current guardrails for reproducing, displaying, or distributing copyrighted material.

Our five favorite dunks from Drake’s label over his ‘Not Like Us’ lawsuit
- Universal Music Group responds to Drake's lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us,' claiming Drake is just a sore loser of a rap battle and cannot support his claims.
- Drake, who previously advocated against criminalizing rappers for their lyrics, is now suing UMG for defamation.
- UMG argues that Drake cannot claim defamation as the context of the diss track implied aggressive lyrics would be used, given the history of exchanges between Drake and Lamar.
- The label highlights that Drake has also used vitriolic lyrics in his own songs, countering his claims regarding the nature of 'Not Like Us.'
- UMG contends that the controversies mentioned in Lamar's track were well-known and acknowledged by Drake in his own lyrics.
- In response to Drake's accusations of stream inflation through bots and payola, UMG denies any evidence supporting such claims and dismisses Drake's theories as speculative.
- Drake's lawyer stands by the artist's claims, accusing UMG of profiting from misinformation and attempting to evade accountability.
- UMG portrays Drake's lawsuit as a distraction from its alleged misconduct towards artists and shareholders, asserting confidence in the case progressing further.
- UMG's response emphasizes the back-and-forth nature of rap battles, suggesting both artists engaged in aggressive lyrics typical of the genre.
- Drake and UMG are at odds over the interpretation of lyrics, the use of metaphors, and the implications drawn from the diss track.
