Warner Music has contested a lawsuit filed by the US musicians union, AFM, regarding compensation from AI deals. The union argues that a 'new use' clause in their performer agreement entitles musicians to a share of the revenue from deals with Suno and Udio. Warner Music maintains that the union's interpretation of this clause is incorrect. Originally reported by Complete Music Update.
