Major Labels Weighing Lawsuit Against AI Firms Suno and Udio for Alleged Unlicensed Training
The three major labels are said to be weighing a lawsuit against AI firms Suno and Udio, alleging they have been training models on unlicensed music.
In May, the company announced via a blog post that it had raised a total of $125 million in funding from a group of notable investors, including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross. Both companies, however, have drawn criticism from many members of the music business who believe that the models train on vast swathes of copyrighted material, including hit songs, without consent, compensation or credit to rights holders. 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.
