Warner Music Disputes Musician Share of AI Revenue

Warner Music has responded to a lawsuit initiated by the US musicians union, AFM, concerning the use of artificial intelligence. The AFM contends that a 'new use' clause in their performer agreement entitles musicians to compensation from AI deals with Suno and Udio. Warner Music asserts that the union's interpretation of this clause is incorrect. Originally reported by Complete Music Update.
