This past week saw Universal Music Group initiate legal action against both DistroKid and Suno. Furthermore, Oasis has canceled the general sale for their Live '27 event. In other news, SoundExchange has established a reciprocal agreement with MusicNation in the UAE.
In a significant development, Universal and Sony have filed a second lawsuit against Suno, alleging that the platform's v6 models are derived from infringing material. This legal battle could have substantial financial implications, given that US copyright law allows for damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work. Originally reported by Music Business Worldwide.
