The case asserts direct and secondary copyright infringement claims plus removal of copyright management information under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act; originally filed in Tennessee in 2023 and transferred to NDCA (5:2024cv03811), it features multiple dismissals with leave to amend on secondary and CMI claims, a denied preliminary injunction motion, and a partial stipulation preserving Anthropic's guardrails.
