Canada's biggest newspapers took Anthropic to court over Claude.
Four major Canadian news publishers, including The Globe and Mail, sued Anthropic in an Ontario court. They say the company got around their anti-copying protections to train its chatbot Claude without a licence. The claim, filed October 6, became public Monday, and none of it has been proven in court.
Why it mattersThe same publishers have been suing OpenAI since 2024, so Canada is becoming a second front in the training-data fight. A ruling could decide whether AI firms must pay for the news they learn from.
