‘We Were Surprised How Obvious It Was’: The Case Against AI in the EU

German PRO GEMA sued generative AI company Suno in Munich in a case that could be stronger than the RIAA's suit in the U.S. — and just as important.

Although the RIAA is also suing Suno, as well as Udio, this is the biggest case that involves compositions, as opposed to recordings — and it could set a precedent for the European Union. We got the idea the moment that services like Suno and Udio hit the market and we saw how easy it was to generate music and how similar some of it sounds. My personal view is that we may never be able to attribute the output to specific works that have been input, so distribution can only be done by proxy or by funding ways to allow the next generation of songwriters to develop in those genres.
