Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell's late-August federal complaint against Anthropic lands weeks after the $1.5 billion Bartz judgment and reopens the same question with broader scope: was the source acquisition legal even if training on copyrighted material was not? The publishers frame torrenting and 'flagrant piracy' as the next legal theory, and Anthropic says it will defend itself robustly. Discovery will expose training-data sourcing practices the industry has kept opaque.
