At #8 we find a collective of humans which had been functioning for some time by 1981. At this time they found their greatest commercial success, perhaps because both synthesizers and alienation were popular at the time. They were later much sampled on Hip-Hop tracks

Sony and Warner Music Sue Anthropic Over Unauthorized Use of Songs in AI Training
Sony Music and Warner Music have filed a lawsuit against Anthropic in California federal court, alleging the company misused copyrighted song compositions to train its Claude AI models. The complaint claims Anthropic pirated hundreds of lyrics and sheet music from artists like The Beatles, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jackson to develop Claude's ability to respond to human prompts. This case is part of a broader wave of legal actions against tech companies over the use of copyrighted material in AI training. Universal Music Group previously sued Anthropic in 2023, and the company settled a class-action lawsuit last year by paying $1.5 billion. Sony and Warner argue that Anthropic's actions represent systemic copyright theft, noting the company's $2-trillion valuation despite ongoing legal disputes. The lawsuit seeks damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work and an injunction to block further use of their content. Anthropic has not yet commented on the allegations, but the case highlights growing tensions between AI developers and intellectual property rights holders.

Noah Kahan criticises Trump administration over unauthorised use of his song 'American Cars'
Noah Kahan has publicly condemned the Trump administration for using his song 'American Cars' without permission, expressing his disapproval in the comments section of a White House Instagram post. The administration had used the track to soundtrack footage of Donald Trump's visit to General Motors' test site in Michigan. Kahan's co-writer, Noah Levine, also commented angrily, calling the administration 'you fat fuck' and stating the song was not intended for them. The track was later removed from the post but remains on a TikTok video. This incident follows similar criticisms from other artists, including Katy Perry and Ariana Grande, who objected to their music being used in official White House videos. Perry condemned the use of her song 'Firework' in a video depicting US military strikes on Iran, while Grande criticized the association of her song 'Bye' with ICE detention footage. The administration has not yet issued a public response to these criticisms. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over the unauthorised use of music in political contexts, with artists expressing concern over their work being co-opted for messages they disagree with.
