A Federal Judge first ruled that it was legal for the AI startup of $ 61.5 billion, Anthrope, to train their ATS in the book model with copyright without compensating or accrediting the authors.
The US district judge. UU. William Alsup or San Francisco declared in a ruling presented on Monday that the use of Anthrope copyright, published books to train their AI model, was “fair use” under the copyright law of the United States because it was “excessively transformative.” Alsup compared the situation with a human reading that learns to be a writer reading books, in order to create a new job.
“Like any reader who aspires to be a writer, Anthrope’s [AI] Trained on jobs not to run ahead and replicate or complement the subject, but to turn a hard corner and create something different, “he wrote.
According to the ruling, although the use of books with the copyright of Anthrope as training material for Claude was for fair use, the court will hold a trial on the pirated books used to create the Central Library of Anthrope and determine the resulting dam.

The ruling, the first time that a federal judge has put himself on the side of the technological companies on creative in a demand for the copyright of AI, creates a precedent for the courts to favor the companies of AI about people in the copyright disputes of AI.
These copyright demands are based on how a judge interprets the doctrine of fair use, a concept in the copyright law that allows the use of copyright material without obentizing the permission of the head of copyright. Use of fair use depositing how different the final work of the original is, what the final work is being used and if it is being replicated to obtain commercial profits.
The plaintiffs in the case of class action, Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber and Kirk Wallace Johnson, are all authors who claim that Anthrope used their work to train their chatbot without their permission. They filed the initial complaint, Bartz v. Anthrope, in August 2024, claiming that Anthrope had violated the copyright law by hacking books and replicating them to train their Chatbot AI.
The failure details that Anthrope downloaded millions of books with free copyright from pirate sites. The startup also bought printed copies of copyright, some of which already had in its pirated library. The employees started the links of these books, cut the pages, scanned them and stored them in digital files to add to a central digital library.
From this central library, Anthrope selected different groupings of digitized books to train his Chatbot AI, Claude, the company’s main income driver.

The judge ruled that because Claude’s production was “transformative”, Anthrope was allowed to use copyright work under the doctrine of fair use. However, Anthrope still has to go to trial about the books he piracy.
“Anthrope had no right to use pirate copies for its central library,” says the failure.
Claude has proven to be lucrative. According to the ruling, Anthrope earned around one billion dollars in annual income last year of corporate clients and individuals who paid a subscription rate to use the AI chatbot. Pags subscriptions for Claude vary from $ 20 per month to $ 100 per month.
Anthrope faces another demand for Reddit. In a complaint filed earlier this month in the court in northern California, Reddit said Anthrope used his site for the training material of AI without permission.
