Anthropic defeats US preliminary injunction motion from music publishers

( March 26, 2025, 00:29 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: A group of music publishers have lost their motion for a preliminary injunction blocking Anthropic from using song lyrics to train its large language models, with a federal judge in San Francisco ruling that the requested injunction ran the risk of being overly broad and that the publishers failed to show a likelihood of irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction. "The undefined nature of the relief sought here casts a long shadow over Publishers’ request," US District Judge Eumi K.
