Did AI Eat Your Lyrics, Sheet Music, Scores, Etc.? There might be $ in your future!
from Prof Snyder's Music Biz News
Suno and Udio are being sued by the labels, but there is another major suit most haven't heard about. Sued by UMG and other labels, Anthropic almost got away with scraping millions of copies of printed music to train AI for free, claiming 'Fair Use.' Until it was exposed, in a similar class action lawsuit by book authors, that Anthropic hid it also scraped printed music from the same LibGen, torrents, and other sites. The book authors won, and now, using the same winning arguments against Anthropic, the record labels will probably win! Multiple book authors in the class class action suit, who had no idea their books were illegally copied, are being notified now that they are in the winning camp and can expect to be paid. Will the record labels, assuming they also win, keep the money? Or will they do the same and notify songwriters and composers? If so and you have lyrics, sheet music, scores, etc, most likely you'll also be owed some $ !
