We reached a new milestone: copyright suit No. 73 against AI companies in the U.S. was just filed. With only a few days left in 2025, will we hit 75?
This one in the Western District of North Carolina in a pro se copyright suit filed by the musician Anders Manga (aka Jerry Anders). There will likely be a fight over personal jurisdiction and venue.
The Plaintiff Anders alleges that he stopped his business relations with a music licensing entity called AudioSparx and, in 2025, opted out of the latter’s licensing deal with Stability AI to train its Stable Audio model. And, through counsel, Anders sought again to have AudioSparx and Stability AI remove his music from the training datasets. Anders alleges that they continued to use Anders’ music, however, in violation of his copyrights.
