Sony Music and Universal Music Group sue Suno over new AI model
Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group filed a federal lawsuit in Massachusetts against Suno alleging copyright infringement by its latest v6 AI music models.
Allegations of continued infringement
The two labels argue that training the new model on outputs from previous versions does not stop the violation. They claim this process merely launders the original infringement rather than creating a fresh start. The lawsuit asserts that Suno admitted its v6 family was trained upon the results of earlier models.
Specific claims and damages
Plaintiffs state Suno used user interactions to generate data for training without proper authorization. Under US copyright law, this alleged conduct could result in liability for up to 60,202 sound recordings. The companies also claim damages related to circumventing YouTube anti-downloading technology.
