REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Anthropic FollowAlphabet Inc FollowAmazon.com Inc Follow Show more companiesOct 18 (Reuters) - Music publishers Universal Music (UMG.AS), ABKCO and Concord Publishing sued artificial intelligence company Anthropic in Tennessee federal court on Wednesday, accusing it of misusing an "innumerable" amount of copyrighted song lyrics to train its chatbot Claude. The music publishers' lawsuit appears to be the first case over song lyrics and the first against Anthropic, which has drawn financial backing from Google (GOOGL.O), Amazon (AMZN.O) and former cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried. The lawsuit accused Anthropic of infringing the publishers' copyrights by copying their lyrics without permission as part of the "massive amounts of text" that it scrapes from the internet to train Claude to respond to human prompts. For example, the lawsuit said that Claude will provide relevant lyrics from Don McLean's "American Pie" when asked to write a song about the death of rock pioneer Buddy Holly. The publishers asked the court for money damages and an order to stop the alleged infringement.

☆ Splurging on Taylor Swift tickets and a 'funflation' economy is hitting Best Buy's sales, says its CEO

"Funflation" refers to higher consumer demand for fun experiences, which inflates the prices of these experiences. Big ticket items in electronics are drawing less consumer interest than Taylor Swift tickets and other fun experiences, Barry said at a Fortune event. AdvertisementAdvertisementCorie Barry, the CEO of electronics retailer Best Buy, thinks that splurging on Taylor Swift tickets and "funflation" is hurting her company's bottom line. Bloomberg analysts estimated in August that Taylor Swift and Beyoncé's concert tours would add around $5.4 billion to the US economy's GDP. Best Buy and Barry did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider, sent outside regular business hours.

Bank of America predicts people will continue to spend big on live entertainment. AdvertisementAdvertisementMaybe the epic summer of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and "Barbenheimer" was just the beginning and not just a one-off outlier. On the surface, this contradicts some earlier warnings that while entertainment spending did prop up the economy, it would be fleeting. Bank of America did warn in its report that there is some risk in betting on "funflation" to continue. But if Bank of America's predictions are correct, the economy may feel the effects of entertainment spending despite the diminished sparkle of the performers.

The US economy showed signs of a soft landing this summer. In September, the Federal Reserve buoyed those hopes by keeping interest rates unchanged for the first time since the first quarter of 2022. At the start of the rate increase, many borrowers, such as existing homeowners, had low mortgage interest rates locked in. As the economist David Rosenberg says, it typically takes six months for a recession to hit the economy after interest rates increase by this much.

Taylor Swift is providing a gold rush for the hotel industry. The "Cruel Summer" singer's attention-grabbing "Eras" tour has pushed up revenue for hotels in cities across the U.S., according to data from investment firm Bernstein. "This has been a notable boost to the hotel industry," Bernstein analyst Richard Clarke wrote in a note to clients Friday, using the term "Swiftonomics." (Revenue generated per room is calculated by dividing the total hotel revenue by number of available rooms, regardless of whether they were occupied.) Indeed, Clarke said occupancy was 11% higher in Philadelphia during the nights of Swift's tour, while revenue per available room was up 59% on average.
