Music publishers sue Anthropic for $3 billion over ‘flagrant piracy’

[Brain-]

Ugh, this is crazy ! I mean, I get that companies want to use copyrighted content for training purposes, but downloading 20k+ songs without permission? That's just shady . And now they're facing a $3 billion lawsuit? That's serious . I'm not sure what Anthropic was thinking, but using their vast network to pirate music doesn't seem like the most responsible thing to do. It's like, if you're gonna use someone else's work, at least pay for it or get permission, right?

OMG ... like, what's up with these big corps? They're gonna try to sue Anthropic for 3 billion dollars over some stolen songs? That's wild . I mean, I get it, copyright law is in place to protect creators, but come on! The fact that they downloaded all those songs without permission just to train their AI model is like, so shady . And the worst part is, Anthropic made bank off that stolen content without even paying a dime . It's like, what a way to build an empire ... not!

I'm totally baffled by this whole thing . Like, I get that companies need data for their AI models, but $3 billion is just crazy talk ! Can you imagine if someone came up with a way to make that kind of money without actually owning the stuff? It's like... not right, you know? And it's not like Anthropic didn't know better - they're basically saying they thought they could get away with it because they were big . But now they've got a bunch of music publishers breathing down their necks and I'm sure this is gonna be a super long and expensive court battle . Can we just have some common sense around data usage or something?
