AI companies now asserting counterclaims  v. Copyright Holders. Anthropic adopts new strategy in AI copyright suits

Anthropic has filed a counterclaim of non-infringement against opt-outee and book author Daniel Benjamin Gilbert in the Bartz v. Anthropic copyright suit, following a trend started by Nanoble, represented by Quinn Emanuel, which filed an indemnity counterclaim against Disney for allegedly violating terms of use for Nanoble's AI video generator.

Nanoble, represented by Quinn Emanuel, may have started a trend in the AI copyright litigation. Nanoble filed an indemnity counterclaim against Disney for allegedly violating the terms of use required by Nanoble’s AI video generator. We can read more about that strategy here: Now, Anthropic has filed a counterclaim of non-infringement against Bartz v. Anthropic opt-outee and book author Daniel Benjamin Gilbert. It’s unclear to me what is gained by formally filing a counterclaim of non-infringement as opposed to the indemnity claim by Nanoble. Related Story:
