UMG and Sony Accuse Suno of AI Piracy
However, the judge denied the labels’ separate bid to add 61,026 recordings to the 560 already in suit Source
A judge has permitted Universal Music Group (UMG) and Sony to proceed with accusations that Suno, an AI music platform, engaged in copyright infringement by 'stream ripping' YouTube content for AI training. The music labels are seeking to hold Suno accountable for allegedly pirating music to develop its artificial intelligence. Originally reported by Music Business Worldwide.
While the judge allowed the core piracy claim to move forward, a request by the labels to add a significant number of additional recordings to the existing lawsuit was denied. This ruling narrows the scope of the current legal action but permits the central dispute over AI training data to be heard. Originally reported by Music Business Worldwide.
