# Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, Order on Fair Use (N.D. Cal. June 23, 2025)

## Bibliographic Metadata

- Author or issuing body: United States District Court for the Northern District of California (Judge William Alsup)
- Publication date: 2025-06-23
- Source type: District court order (PDF)
- URL: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.434709/gov.uscourts.cand.434709.231.0_4.pdf
- Archive URL: None recorded
- Access date: 2026-08-22

## Reliability Notes

RECAP copy of the fair-use summary-judgment order in No. C 24-05417 WHA. Primary authority for the court’s split holding on training copies versus pirated library copies. District-court authority; not an appellate holding. Later settlement approval is a separate source.

# Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, Order Granting Final Approval of Class Action Settlement (N.D. Cal. July 20, 2026)

## Bibliographic Metadata

## Reliability Notes

DocumentCloud reproduction of Dkt. 680 in No. 4:24-cv-05417-AMO. Primary court order for settlement terms as the court described them. Settlement approval is not a merits holding on fair use; the June 2025 fair-use order remains the source for that analysis.

# Concord Music Group, Inc. v. Anthropic PBC, CourtListener docket

## Reliability Notes

CourtListener docket compiled from PACER/RECAP for No. 5:24-cv-03811. The transferred complaint docket text records an original Middle District of Tennessee filing dated October 18, 2023. Reliable for case number, transfer posture, and later docket events as of the access date. A related later action, No. 5:26-cv-00880, is a separate docket.

## Reliability Notes

RECAP copy of the October 6, 2025 order in No. 24-cv-03811-EKL. Primary authority for pleading-stage holdings on the first amended complaint. The order recites alleged facts from the FAC and prior procedural history (including the March 26, 2025 dismissal with leave to amend). It is not a fair-use merits ruling.

- Access date: 2026-08-22

## Reliability Notes

RECAP copy of Dkt. 115. Primary authority for pleading-stage holdings, including that the court was not prepared to treat Character.AI outputs as protected speech at that stage and that the app could be a “product” insofar as claims targeted design defects rather than ideas or expressions. Not a merits finding of liability. Entered on the docket May 21, 2025.
