🇹🇼 Anthropic版權訴訟評測：Sony、Warner求償恐達數十億美元

Sony Music Publishing與Warner Chappell在2026年8月底對Anthropic提起版權訴訟，控告這家Claude開發商「大規模非法下載、盜錄歌詞與樂譜」訓練AI模型。這起Anthropic版權訴訟求償恐上看數十億美元，是繼作家集體訴訟後，Anthropic今年最大的法律風暴。

Sony、Warner到底告了什麼？

根據TechCrunch的報導，訴訟指控Anthropic透過Library Genesis等盜版資料庫，以及未經授權爬取Musixmatch、LyricFind，取得數萬首受版權保護的歌曲，包括披頭四〈I Am the Walrus〉、Leonard Cohen〈Hallelujah〉、Mariah Carey〈All I Want for Christmas Is You〉等。原告主張每首歌最高可求償15萬美元法定賠償，若數萬首歌曲指控成立，理論求償將落在數十億美元等級，Anthropic執行長Dario Amodei本人也被列為被告。

不是第一次因版權挨告

2025年Anthropic才因作家集體訴訟（Bartz v. Anthropic）付出15億美元和解金，創下AI版權和解紀錄。Variety報導指出，這次是鎖定音樂出版的獨立新案，Anthropic回應稱只是「重炒已在法院審理中的舊指控」，訓練AI屬於「轉化性合理使用」，會全力抗辯。

小克怎麼看：對一般用戶有影響嗎？

這起Anthropic版權訴訟短期內不會讓Claude突然關站或變貴——訴訟通常拖上好幾年，前一起作家訴訟光和解就花了兩年多。但長期看，訓練資料版權成本正變成AI公司的結構性支出，未來很可能反映在訂閱費與API定價上。給重度使用者三個建議：

留意Anthropic服務條款是否新增版權免責聲明
商業用途避免要求模型「重現」特定歌詞或版權作品全文
持續關注同類訴訟，Google、OpenAI也面臨類似官司，不是Anthropic獨有風險

好不好用，試了才知道。

🇺🇸 Anthropic Lawsuit Review: Sony, Warner Sue Over Songs

Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell filed a copyright lawsuit against Anthropic in late August 2026, accusing the Claude maker of running a "brazen campaign" to illegally download and scrape song lyrics and sheet music to train its AI models. This Anthropic copyright lawsuit could expose the company to damages in the billions of dollars — the biggest legal threat Anthropic has faced since settling with authors last year.

What Sony and Warner Are Actually Alleging

According to TechCrunch's report, the complaint says Anthropic pulled copyrighted lyrics from piracy sites like Library Genesis and the Pirate Library Mirror, and scraped licensed lyric sites such as Musixmatch and LyricFind without permission. Songs named in the suit include:

The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus"
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"
Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You"
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"

Plaintiffs are seeking up to $150,000 per work in statutory damages. With tens of thousands of songs named, the theoretical exposure runs into the billions. CEO Dario Amodei and co-founder Benjamin Mann are named as defendants personally.

Not Anthropic's First Copyright Fight

In 2025, Anthropic paid $1.5 billion to settle a separate class-action from authors (Bartz v. Anthropic) — the largest AI copyright settlement on record. This new music-publisher suit, detailed by Variety, is a distinct case targeting song lyrics rather than books. Anthropic's spokesperson called it a rehash of claims "already before the courts" and said training on the material is "transformative fair use" it will defend.

Kit's Take: Does This Affect You?

Honestly, this lawsuit won't shut down Claude or spike your subscription overnight — litigation like this typically drags on for years, and the author settlement took over two years from filing to payout. But the pattern matters: training-data copyright liability is becoming a real structural cost for AI labs, and it will eventually show up in pricing or usage restrictions. If you build on Claude or similar models:

Watch for new copyright disclaimers in the terms of service
Avoid prompting models to reproduce full lyrics or copyrighted text verbatim in commercial products
Expect similar suits against OpenAI and Google — this is an industry-wide exposure, not an Anthropic-only problem

好不好用，試了才知道 — you won't really know if it changes anything until you try it yourself.
