环球音乐起诉亚马逊支持的人工智能公司抄袭滚石乐队、碧昂斯乐队歌词，索赔7500万美元
A trio of major music publishers are stepping into the legal battle against generative artificial intelligence to stop the use of their copyrighted material to train AI systems, this time in a lawsuit against Anthropic.
三家主要音乐出版商正在与生成式人工智能展开法律斗争，以停止使用其受版权保护的材料来训练人工智能系统，这一次是对Anthropic提起诉讼。
Universal Music Group, Concord Music Group and ABKCO sued the company in Tennessee federal court on Wednesday, accusing it of “systematic and widespread infringement” by copying and distributing lyrics from at least 500 songs from artists such as Katy Perry, The Rolling Stones and Beyoncé.
环球音乐集团、康科德音乐集团和ABKCO周三向田纳西州联邦法院起诉该公司，指控该公司“有系统、广泛地侵权”，抄袭并散布凯蒂•佩里、滚石乐队和碧昂斯等歌手的至少500首歌曲的歌词。
The lawsuit, which is the first from a music publisher against an AI company over the use of lyrics, was filed in the wake of the Authors Guild — representing a host of prominent fiction authors including George R.R. Martin, Jonathan Franzen and John Grisham — suing OpenAI last month. The leading trade group for writers claimed that the Sam Altman-led company engaged “in a systematic course of mass-scale copyright infringement” to “power their lucrative commercial endeavor.” It marked at least the third legal action against OpenAI over its use of copyrighted books to train GPT.
这是音乐出版商首次就歌词使用问题起诉人工智能公司。上个月，美国作家协会起诉OpenAI，该协会代表了包括乔治·r·r·马丁、乔纳森·弗兰岑和约翰·格里沙姆在内的许多著名小说作家。美国作家协会声称，这家由山姆·奥特曼领导的公司“系统性地大规模侵犯版权”，以“为其利润丰厚的商业活动提供动力”。这至少是针对OpenAI使用受版权保护的书籍来训练GPT的第三次法律行动。
“Anthropic has neither sought nor secured Publishers’ permission to use their valuable copyrighted works in this way,” states the complaint. “Just as Anthropic does not want its code taken without its authorization, neither do music publishers or any other copyright owners want their works to be exploited without permission.”
“Anthropic既没有寻求也没有获得出版商的许可，以这种方式使用他们有价值的版权作品，”诉状称。“正如Anthropic不希望其代码在未经授权的情况下被使用一样，音乐出版商或任何其他版权所有者也不希望他们的作品在未经许可的情况下被利用。”
As evidence of “Anthropic’s mass copying and ingestion of Publishers’ song lyrics,” the lawsuit points to the company’s Claude AI chatbot providing the lyrics to songs owned by the publishers. When asked the lyrics to Katy Perry’s “Roar,” which is owned by Concord, it provided an near-identical copy of the words in the piece.
作为“Anthropic大规模复制和吸收出版商的歌词”的证据，该诉讼指出，该公司的Claude AI聊天机器人为出版商拥有的歌曲提供歌词。当被问及凯蒂·佩里的《Roar》的歌词时，康科德提供了一份几乎完全相同的歌词副本。
The publishers argue there’s already an existing market that’s being undercut by Anthropic, which is backed by Amazon, pilfering their material without consent or payment, citing music lyric aggregators and websites that have licensed their works. By refusing to license the content its profiting off of, the company is “depriving Publishers and their songwriters of control over their copyrighted works and the hard-earned benefits of their creative endeavors, it is competing unfairly against those website developers that respect the copyright law and pay for licenses, and it is undermining existing and future licensing markets in untold ways,” according to the complaint.
出版商认为，亚马逊支持的Anthropic在未经同意或支付费用的情况下窃取他们的作品，已经形成了一个现有的市场，并引用了音乐歌词聚合器和网站，这些网站已经获得了他们作品的许可。通过拒绝授权其获利的内容，该公司“剥夺了出版商及其词曲作者对其版权作品的控制权，以及他们辛苦创造的收益，它与那些尊重版权法并支付许可费用的网站开发商进行了不公平的竞争，并以无数的方式破坏了现有和未来的许可市场，”起诉书称。
The argument is meant to undermine Anthropic’s anticipated fair use defense, which was effectively reined in when the Supreme Court issued its recent decision in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts v. Goldsmith. In that case, the majority emphasized that an analysis of whether an allegedly infringing work was sufficiently transformed must be balanced against the “commercial nature of the use.” The music publishers are attempting to establish that Anthropic’s alleged copyright infringement hurt their prospects to profit off of the material by interfering with potential licensing deals for use of their lyrics.
这一论点意在削弱Anthropic预期的合理使用辩护，最高法院最近在安迪·沃霍尔视觉艺术基金会诉戈德史密斯案中做出的裁决有效地遏制了这一辩护。在该案中，多数人强调，对涉嫌侵权作品是否充分转化的分析必须与“使用的商业性质”相平衡。音乐出版商正试图证明，Anthropic涉嫌侵犯版权的行为，干扰了使用他们歌词的潜在许可协议，损害了他们从这些素材中获利的前景。
Additionally, the lawsuit argues that Claude is generating answers that contain copyrighted lyrics even when it’s specifically asked not to do so, like in prompts to write a song, provide chord progressions, or write poetry in the style of a certain artist.
此外，该诉讼辩称，克劳德生成的答案包含受版权保护的歌词，即使它被明确要求不要这样做，比如在提示写歌、提供和弦进行或以某个艺术家的风格写诗时。
The music publishers claim direct copyright infringement, as well as vicarious and contributory infringement, among another claim for the allegedly illegal removal of copyright management information. They seek a court order to block Anthropic from continuing to use their copyrighted material and up to $150,000 in damages per infringement.
音乐出版商声称直接侵犯版权，以及间接侵权和辅助侵权，以及据称非法删除版权管理信息的另一项索赔。他们寻求法院命令，阻止Anthropic继续使用他们的版权材料，并要求每次侵权赔偿高达15万美元。
In a statement, Matthew Oppenheim, a lawyer representing the publishers, said, “It is well established by copyright law that an entity cannot reproduce, distribute, and display someone else’s copyrighted works to build its own business unless it secures permission from rightsholders.”
代表出版商的律师马修·奥本海姆在一份声明中表示，“版权法明确规定，除非获得版权所有者的许可，否则实体不得复制、分发和展示他人的版权作品，以建立自己的业务。”
