Warner Music Disputes Musician Claims on AI Revenue

Warner Music has responded to a lawsuit initiated by the AFM union concerning the distribution of revenue from AI deals. The union argues that a 'new use' clause in their performer agreement entitles musicians to a share of the income generated from AI music platforms like Suno and Udio. Warner Music contends that this interpretation of the clause is incorrect. Originally reported by Complete Music Update.
