Anthropic PBC + +## Summary + +Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, No. C 24-05417 (N.D. Cal.), is an authors’ class action over Anthropic’s copying of books to assemble a library and train Claude. On June 23, 2025, Judge William Alsup held that training on the books was exceedingly transformative fair use under 17 U.S.C. § 107, and that converting purchased print copies into digital library copies was also fair use, but that creating a permanent general-purpose library from pirated copies was not excused as fair use. On July 20, 2026, the court granted final approval of a $1.5 billion settlement of claims about past pirated acquisition and copying of works on a defined Works List. + +## Verified Facts + +- Named author plaintiffs include Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson, with affiliated corporate entities Bartz Inc. and MJ + KJ Inc.[^1] +- Anthropic is described as an AI firm founded in January 2021 whose service Claude was first released publicly in March 2023.[^1] +- The fair-use order states that Anthropic downloaded Books3, LibGen, and PiLiMi collections containing pirated books, amounting to over seven million copies, and also purchased millions of print books that were stripped and scanned into a digital library.[^1] +- On summary judgment limited to fair use, the court held that using the books to train Claude and its precursors “was exceedingly transformative and was a fair use under Section 107.”[^1] +- The court held that digitizing purchased print copies for Anthropic’s central library was fair use because the digital copies replaced the purchased print copies without adding new copies, creating new works, or redistributing existing copies.[^1] +- The court held that Anthropic had no entitlement to use pirated copies for its central library and that creating a permanent, general-purpose library was not itself a fair use excusing the piracy.[^1] +- Authors did not allege in that motion practice that any LLM outputs infringed their works; the order addresses training copies and library copies.[^1] +- On July 20, 2026, the court granted final approval of a non-reversionary $1.5 billion settlement covering beneficial or legal copyright owners of books on a Works List drawn from LibGen or PiLiMi versions Anthropic downloaded, limited to works with ISBN or ASIN and timely U.S. copyright registration.[^2] +- The final-approval order states that the Works List contained 482,460 works, that about $3,000 per work was the estimated payment (four times the $750 ordinary statutory minimum), and that as of April 16, 2026, 440,490 works (91.3 percent) had been claimed.[^2] +- The court described the release as covering past AI inputs (pirating and copying) up to the point of any AI output, and as not releasing claims about past AI outputs or claims about future conduct on or after August 25, 2025.[^2] +- The settlement provides for destruction of class members’ pirated works; the order quotes Anthropic’s representation that neither the LibGen nor PiLiMi datasets were in the training corpus of any commercially released large language model.[^2] +- The court awarded class counsel $101,561,111 in fees (nearly 6.8 percent of the fund plus interest), expense reimbursement, and $15,000 service awards to each of three class representatives.[^2] + + +[^1]: `SRC-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC-FAIR-USE` — Order on Fair Use (June 23, 2025).

Authority level: district-court summary-judgment order plus class-settlement approval. Not circuit precedent. + +The fair-use holding applies [17 U.S.C. § 107](STAT-USC-107.md) factor by factor to three uses: (1) training copies, (2) purchased-and-scanned library copies, and (3) pirated library copies.[^1] Training was treated as transformative because the models learned to generate new text rather than to provide the books to the public as books.[^1] Pirated acquisition for a retained general-purpose library was treated as a substitute for paid copies and therefore not transformative in the same way.[^1] Buying a copy later does not, the court noted, absolve liability for earlier theft, though it may affect statutory damages.[^1] + +The settlement’s narrow release is legally significant: output claims and post-August 25, 2025 conduct remain outside the class deal, and works not on the Works List are unaffected.[^2] + +## Relationships + +- `CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC` cites `SRC-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC-FAIR-USE`. +- `CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC` related_to `STAT-USC-107`. +- `CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC` related_to `TOPIC-AI-COPYRIGHT`. +- `CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC` related_to `CASE-KADREY-V-META`. + +## Sources + +1. `SRC-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC-FAIR-USE`: Order on Fair Use (N.D.

Publishers filed the FAC on April 25, 2025. Anthropic moved again on May 9, 2025.[^1] +- On October 6, 2025, the court denied the second motion to dismiss in full, holding that the FAC plausibly alleged contributory infringement, vicarious infringement, and DMCA § 1202(b)(1) and (b)(3) claims, and ordered Anthropic to answer within 14 days after a ruling on plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.[^1] + + +[^1]: `SRC-CONCORD-V-ANTHROPIC-MTD-2025` — Order denying MTD (Oct. 6, 2025).

The 42nd Civil Chamber largely granted injunction, information, and damages claims over nine German song lyrics, holding that memorization in models 4 and 4o and output of those lyrics were unauthorized reproductions not covered by the text-and-data-mining exception. A personality-rights claim over misattributed altered lyrics was dismissed. The court’s press release states that the judgment is not final. + +## Verified Facts + +- On November 11, 2025, Landgericht München I entered judgment in 42 O 14139/24 on claims by GEMA against two OpenAI-group defendants concerning nine well-known German song lyrics, including “Atemlos” (Kristina Bach) and “Wie schön, dass du geboren bist” (Rolf Zuckowski).[^1][^2] +- The court enjoined the defendants, on pain of a fine of up to €250,000 or imprisonment, from reproducing the lyrics in large language models without consent, as occurred in models 4 and 4o, and from making the lyrics available or reproducing them in chatbot outputs without consent.[^1] +- The court also ordered the defendants to provide an organized accounting of the extent of those acts and resulting revenues (from specified start dates for each defendant) and addressed damages and pre-litigation costs in the tenor.[^1] +- The official headnotes state that memorization can be found by comparing the original work with output from a simple prompt; that memorization in a language model is a reproduction under § 16 UrhG because the work is physically fixed and can be made indirectly perceptible; that fixation does not require identifying a discrete dataset if the work is present in model parameters; and that § 44b UrhG covers reproductions when compiling training material, not training that goes beyond preparing text-and-data mining.[^1] +- The court held the model operators liable for infringing outputs because they exercise control (Tatherrschaft); users may assume control if they provoke outputs, but that is not so for simple prompts.[^1] +- The chamber rejected the TDM exception for in-model reproductions: preparatory copies for analysis do not affect authors’ exploitation interests, but storing works in specified model parameters does. It also rejected an analogical extension of § 44b and rejected § 57 UrhG (insignificant accessory) because the training corpus is not itself a protected main work.[^2] +- The chamber dismissed GEMA’s additional claim for violation of general personality rights based on incorrect attribution of altered lyrics.[^2] +- The official press release states that the judgment is not legally binding (nicht rechtskräftig).

Order dated June 25, 2025 (Dkt. 598).[^1] +- Plaintiffs are thirteen authors, described by the court as mostly famous fiction writers, who sued Meta for downloading their books from online “shadow libraries” and using them to train Llama large language models.[^1] +- The court stated that, in most cases, unauthorized copying of protected works to train generative AI “will likely” be illegal because of market-dilution risk, but that courts must decide on the evidence presented.[^1] +- Plaintiffs’ two primary market theories on the fair-use motions were that Llama could reproduce small snippets and that training without permission diminished a market to license books as AI training data. The court called both “clear losers” on this record: Llama was not capable of generating enough text from the plaintiffs’ books to matter, and plaintiffs were not entitled to a licensing market for AI training data as such.[^1] +- The court identified market dilution (flooding the market with competing AI-generated works) as the potentially winning theory, but held that plaintiffs barely addressed it and presented no meaningful evidence of it.[^1] +- Because Meta’s use was highly transformative, the court held plaintiffs needed to win decisively on the fourth fair-use factor; absent dilution evidence, factor four favored Meta and Meta was entitled to summary judgment on fair use for using these plaintiffs’ books as LLM training data.[^1] +- The court distinguished [Bartz v. Anthropic PBC](CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC.md), arguing that Judge Alsup underweighted market harm by analogizing AI training to teaching schoolchildren to write.[^1] +- The order states that a separate ruling would grant Meta summary judgment on the DMCA claim, and set a July 11, 2025 conference on the claim that Meta unlawfully distributed the works during torrenting.[^1] + + +[^1]: `SRC-KADREY-V-META-FAIR-USE` — Order on partial summary judgment (June 25, 2025).

Uncharted Labs, Inc., No. 1:24-cv-04777 (S.D.N.Y.), is the original major-label copyright action against the generative music service Udio. Universal, Sony, and Warner affiliates alleged unauthorized copying of sound recordings for training. UMG/Capitol and Warner later stipulated to dismissal of their claims without prejudice. Sony remained and, on July 20, 2026, filed a second action, No. 1:26-cv-6120, asserting 30,117 additional recordings. No fair-use merits ruling is recorded in the sources reviewed here. + +## Verified Facts + +- On June 24, 2024, UMG Recordings, Inc., Capitol Records, LLC, Sony Music Entertainment, Arista Music, Arista Records LLC, and Warner-affiliated companies sued Uncharted Labs, Inc., d/b/a Udio.com, in the Southern District of New York. A corrected complaint was entered June 25, 2024. The case was assigned to Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein.[^1][^2] +- The complaint alleges that Udio copied and ingested popular sound recordings to train a service that generates digital music files in seconds, without authorization, and that outputs will compete with the recordings used in training.[^1] +- Plaintiffs plead two counts paralleling the Suno action: direct infringement of post-1972 sound recordings and direct infringement of pre-1972 recordings indexed under 17 U.S.C. § 1401. They seek a willfulness declaration, an injunction, and statutory damages.[^1] +- On November 5, 2025, the court so-ordered a stipulation dismissing all claims by UMG Recordings, Inc. and Capitol Records, LLC against Udio without prejudice, stating that other plaintiffs’ claims were unaffected.[^2] +- On November 25, 2025, the court so-ordered a stipulation dismissing all claims by Atlantic Recording Corporation, Rhino Entertainment Company, Warner Music Inc., Warner Music International Services Limited, Warner Records Inc., Warner Records LLC, and Warner Records/SIRE Ventures LLC without prejudice, again leaving other plaintiffs’ claims unaffected.[^2] +- On July 20, 2026, Sony Music Entertainment and affiliated Sony labels filed Sony Music Entertainment v. Uncharted Labs, Inc., No. 1:26-cv-6120 (S.D.N.Y.), describing it as a second action after the original complaint identified only an illustrative fraction of copied recordings.[^3] +- The 2026 complaint asserts 30,117 sound recordings, alleges that forensic analysis of Udio’s training data identified hundreds of thousands of Sony works, and alleges that Udio obtained many recordings by stream-ripping from YouTube in circumvention of technological protection measures. It also pleads Copyright Act, § 1401, and DMCA § 1201 claims.[^3] +- The 2026 complaint states that plaintiffs sought leave to add those works in the original action and that on June 29, 2026 the court denied leave while saying plaintiffs could seek relief for all copyrighted works in another lawsuit.[^3] + + +[^1]: `SRC-UMG-V-UDIO-COMPLAINT` — Original complaint (June 24/25, 2024).

Perlmutter](CASE-THALER-V-PERLMUTTER.md), the D.C.

Anthropic PBC](CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC.md), the Northern District of California held that training Claude on books was transformative fair use but that a permanent library of pirated copies was not excused as fair use; a $1.5 billion class settlement of the piracy claims received final approval on July 20, 2026.[^6][^7] +- In [Kadrey v. Meta Platforms, Inc.](CASE-KADREY-V-META.md), the Northern District of California granted Meta summary judgment on fair use for training Llama on thirteen authors’ books on that record, while warning that market-dilution evidence could change the result in other cases and leaving torrenting-distribution claims open.[^8] +- In [The New York Times Company v. Microsoft Corp.](CASE-NYT-V-OPENAI.md), the Southern District of New York in April 2025 largely denied motions to dismiss publisher copyright claims against OpenAI and Microsoft; an August 2026 order later dismissed material-contribution contributory claims premised on alleged end-user infringement.[^9] +- In [Spyder Games LLC v.

U.S. major labels sued Suno and Udio over alleged unlicensed copying of masters. U.S. publishers sued Anthropic over lyrics in Claude. A German first-instance court held OpenAI liable for memorizing and outputting nine German lyrics. As of the sources reviewed here, no U.S. court had issued a fair-use merits ruling on training a generative music model. + +## Verified Facts + +- In [UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Suno, Inc.](CASE-UMG-V-SUNO.md), Universal, Sony, and Warner affiliates alleged in June 2024 that Suno copied their sound recordings to train a commercial music generator. Suno admitted training on tens of millions of recordings and pleaded fair use. Warner-affiliated plaintiffs later dismissed their claims with prejudice; UMG and Sony claims remained.[^1][^2][^3] +- In [UMG Recordings, Inc. v. Uncharted Labs, Inc.](CASE-UMG-V-UDIO.md), the same majors filed a parallel June 2024 sound-recording action against Udio in the Southern District of New York. UMG/Capitol and Warner later dismissed their claims without prejudice. Sony remained and in July 2026 filed a second action asserting 30,117 additional recordings.[^4][^5][^6] +- Both original label complaints plead post-1972 infringement under the Copyright Act and pre-1972 infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 1401, and both treat Exhibit A as an illustrative work list.[^1][^4] +- In [Concord Music Group, Inc. v. Anthropic PBC](CASE-CONCORD-V-ANTHROPIC.md), eight publishers allege that Anthropic used copyrighted lyrics to train Claude and that outputs reproduce those lyrics. On October 6, 2025, the Northern District of California denied Anthropic’s motion to dismiss the amended secondary-infringement and DMCA CMI claims.[^7] +- In [GEMA v. OpenAI](CASE-GEMA-V-OPENAI.md), Landgericht München I on November 11, 2025 largely granted GEMA’s claims over nine German lyrics, holding that memorization in models 4 and 4o and output of those lyrics were unauthorized reproductions not covered by the text-and-data-mining exception. The court stated the judgment is not final.[^8][^9] +- U.S. fair use is a four-factor, case-specific limitation in [17 U.S.C. § 107](STAT-USC-107.md).

Generative systems cut across that line. A text model that emits lyrics is a composition problem. An audio model that emits a new recording in the style of existing masters is a sound-recording problem, and sometimes also a composition problem if melody or lyrics are reproduced. The 2024 label complaints treat the second problem as mass infringement of § 106 and § 1401 rights.[^1][^4] The publisher and GEMA matters treat the first as unauthorized reproduction and making available of lyrics.[^7][^8] + +Book-training decisions such as [Bartz](CASE-BARTZ-V-ANTHROPIC.md) and [Kadrey](CASE-KADREY-V-META.md) are adjacent but not controlling here: different works, different outputs, and no music-generator fair-use holding. + +## Legal Analysis + +Keep four questions separate. + +**Which exclusive right?** Labels plead reproduction of sound recordings used as training audio.[^1][^4] Publishers and GEMA plead reproduction and dissemination of lyrics.[^7][^8] A holding on one right does not decide the other. + +**Has a court decided training?** In the United States, as of these sources, no. Suno pleaded fair use; Concord survived a motion to dismiss on secondary and CMI theories without a § 107 ruling.[^2][^7] In Germany, LG München I did decide that extractable memorization of lyrics is a reproduction outside commercial TDM, but that judgment is not final and is not U.S. law.[^8][^9] + +**What do partial dismissals mean?** Warner’s Suno exit was with prejudice.[^3] UMG’s and Warner’s Udio exits were without prejudice.[^5] Neither set of stipulations states that training is lawful, and Sony’s 2026 Udio action shows the remaining label expanding the work list rather than abandoning the theory.[^6] + +**Outputs versus weights.** GEMA treats simple-prompt regurgitation as proof that the work is fixed in the model and as a separate communication to the public.[^8] U.S. label complaints also rely on generated “soundalikes,” but those exhibits remain allegations.[^1][^4] + +Broader authorship and book/news training issues stay on [Copyright and Generative AI](TOPIC-AI-COPYRIGHT.md).

Whether those characters can be owned under U.S. copyright is the subject of pending Northern District of California litigation. + +## Verified Facts + +- Oxford University Press selected “brain rot” as its Word of the Year for 2024 after a public vote involving more than 37,000 participants.[^1] +- OUP defined “brain rot” as “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging,” and also as “something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration.”[^1] +- OUP reported that usage frequency of the term increased 230% between 2023 and 2024, and that the first recorded use it identified was in Henry David Thoreau’s *Walden* (1854).[^1] +- OUP associated the 2024 sense with low-quality social-media content and with online “brain rot language,” citing examples such as the *Skibidi Toilet* video series; the announcement does not address copyright ownership of later “Italian brainrot” characters.[^1] +- In [Spyder Games LLC v. Mementum Lab](CASE-SPYDER-V-MEMENTUM.md), the complaint alleges that plaintiffs own the Roblox game Steal a Brainrot, that “brainrots” in the game are inspired by humorous internet meme figures created using artificial intelligence programs, and that defendant Mementum Lab claims copyright in those characters, including “Tung Tung Sahor” / “Tung Tung Tung Sahur.”[^2] +- The Spyder complaint seeks a declaration that the disputed brainrots are not subject to copyright protection because they were generated by AI tools and lack the human authorship required by the Copyright Act.[^2] +- The Spyder complaint cites [Thaler v. Perlmutter](CASE-THALER-V-PERLMUTTER.md) for the proposition that the Copyright Act requires work to be authored in the first instance by a human being, and quotes the Copyright Office’s March 2023 registration guidance that material whose expressive elements are determined by AI is not protected by copyright.[^2][^3][^4] +- The Copyright Office’s January 2025 copyrightability report concluded that copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements, and that prompts alone do not provide sufficient control based on current generally available technology.[^5] +- Spyder Games LLC v. Mementum Lab was filed November 26, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California as No. 5:25-cv-10248, assigned to Judge Noel Wise, with nature of suit listed as copyright.[^6] + + +[^1]: `SRC-OXFORD-BRAIN-ROT-WOTY-2024` — Oxford University Press Word of the Year 2024 announcement.

Procedural record. + +## Historical Context + +OUP presented the 2024 word as part of a longer cultural conversation about virtual life, following 2023’s “rizz.”[^1] By 2025, “brainrot” was also used as a label for a set of AI-generated animal-hybrid meme characters that spread on short-video platforms and were then licensed, copied, and merchandised. Steal a Brainrot, according to the Spyder complaint, debuted on Roblox in May 2025 as a treasure-hunt game in which players capture marching “brainrots.”[^2] + +The copyright dispute is not a medical claim about cognitive harm from scrolling. It asks whether an AI-generated viral character can be locked behind exclusive rights once a game or agency tries to monetize it. Plaintiffs in Spyder treat Thaler and Copyright Office guidance as answering that question “no” when the image is machine-determined; the defendant later asserted human creative contributions and trademark theories, which remain pending.[^2][^6] + +## Legal Analysis + +Jurisdiction for the character-ownership fight is U.S. federal copyright (and, on the docket, trademark) law in the Northern District of California.[^6] Authority level for the human-authorship rule cited in the complaint is the D.C. Circuit’s statutory holding in Thaler, which is persuasive outside the D.C. Circuit and was applied on a record in which the applicant listed a machine as sole author.[^3] The Copyright Office’s 2023 guidance and 2025 report are agency views: they treat prompt-only generation as uncopyrightable while leaving room for copyright in human selection, arrangement, or modification of AI output.[^4][^5] + +Spyder’s complaint is a declaratory-judgment action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201–2202 seeking a ruling that Mementum has no valid copyright in specified brainrots and that plaintiffs’ game use does not infringe.[^2] No merits ruling on that question is recorded on this page. If a court finds sufficient human authorship in names, stories, iterative prompting, or post-generation edits, the Thaler “autonomous machine author” fact pattern would not control. Trademark claims, if they proceed, would raise a different question—source identification—rather than authorship of the image itself. + +## Relationships + +- `TOPIC-BRAIN-ROT` cites `SRC-OXFORD-BRAIN-ROT-WOTY-2024`. +- `TOPIC-BRAIN-ROT` related_to `CASE-SPYDER-V-MEMENTUM`. +- `TOPIC-BRAIN-ROT` related_to `CASE-THALER-V-PERLMUTTER`. +- `TOPIC-BRAIN-ROT` related_to `TOPIC-AI-COPYRIGHT`. + +## Sources + +1. `SRC-OXFORD-BRAIN-ROT-WOTY-2024`: Oxford University Press Word of the Year 2024 announcement. +2. `SRC-SPYDER-V-MEMENTUM-COMPLAINT`: Spyder Games LLC v.
