In Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, the US District Court for the Northern District of California held that defendant Anthropic PBC’s use of copyrighted books to train its GenAI tool was a fair use and granted summary judgment to Anthropic on this issue. The court also held that Anthropic’s digital conversion of purchased print books to build its digital library was fair use, but that its downloading of pirated copies for this purpose was not.
