Suno, Anthropic Face $1B Copyright Lawsuits From Round Hill Music Over AI Training
As Suno reaches settlements with the music industry, Round Hill says it plans to fight: “We intend to take these cases to trial."
Two artificial intelligence companies, Suno and Anthropic, are facing multi-million dollar copyright infringement lawsuits from Round Hill Music. The lawsuits—filed on August 17—claim that the AI firms unlawfully used over 500 songs to train their models, potentially exceeding $1 billion in damages. Suno, which has been targeted by all three major music companies, and Anthropic, the creator of the Claude AI, are part of a growing trend of legal battles accusing AI firms of mass theft of copyrighted material.
Round Hill asserts that the companies violated exclusive rights by building their businesses on copyright infringement. CEO Josh Gruss emphasizes that while AI technology is not inherently against innovation, illegal use of other creators' work is unacceptable. The companies deny the allegations and intend to take the cases to trial to hold the alleged infringers accountable.
