Anthropic told Billboard it disagrees with the claims and will defend itself in court.","whyItMatters":"The suit adds Presley's catalog to a run of music rights holders, including Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell, that have gone to court against Anthropic over training data rather than settling.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe complaint, filed in the name of an Authentic Brands Group division and several other rights holders, asks for $150,000 per song, the statutory maximum for willful infringement. Lead attorney Richard Busch has been counsel on the Round Hill Music Files suits against Anthropic and Suno filed in August 2026, and he frames this case the same way: as enforcement of exclusive rights against a business model built on unauthorized copies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthropic\u0026#39;s answer to Billboard was short.

The Anthropic defense will argue over what training data actually was.","threadsPost":"Anthropic is disputing the 274-song claim, which puts the case on the training set itself. The $150,000 per song is the statutory maximum, not a projection of actual damages, so the filing's $41 million total is a ceiling both sides know the court will not simply award.","newsletterBlurb":"A division of Authentic Brands Group and other Presley rights holders filed suit against Anthropic on October 23, 2026 over 274 songs used in AI training, including \"Can't Help Falling in Love\" and \"All Shook Up.\" The plaintiffs seek $150,000 per song, about $41 million.
