Don’t trust AI companies with your content. Verify them instead

# AI Companies Are Using Your Content Without Permission—And Getting Caught Major music publishers are suing AI companies like Anthropic for using their songs and lyrics to train AI models without paying for them or asking permission. This is the latest in a pattern of tech companies taking content (books, music, videos, articles) from creators and publishers to build their AI systems, then acting evasive when asked where the training material came from. If you create or own valuable content, you can't assume AI companies will respect your rights—you need to actively verify what they're doing with your work and push back legally if necessary.
