AI Music Companies Suno and Udio Hire Elite Law Firm for Copyright Battle With Major Labels
AI music companies Suno and Udio have hired a law firm to defend them against major label lawsuits accusing them of copyright infringement.
AI music companies Suno and Udio have hired elite law firm Latham & Watkins to defend them against lawsuits filed by the three major labels in late June, according to court documents. Though fair use has historically allowed for things like news reporting and parody, AI firms say it applies equally to the “intermediate” use of millions of works to build a machine that spits out entirely new creations. This includes generated songs by Suno and Udio that sound just like the voices of Bruce Springsteen, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Michael Jackson and ABBA; outputs that parrot the producer tags of Cash Money AP and Jason Derulo; and outputs that sound nearly identical to Mariah Carey ’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” The Beach Boys ’ “I Get Around,” ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” The Temptations ’ “My Girl,” Green Day ’s “American Idiot” and more.
