US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement (www.wired.com)

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”

The plaintiffs seek damages up to $150,000 per work infringed. The lawsuit against Suno is filed in Massachusetts, while the case against Udio’s parent company Uncharted Inc. was filed in New York. Suno and Udio did not immediately respond to a request to comment.

“Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all,” Recording Industry Association of America chair and CEO Mitch Glazier said in a press release.

Our technology is transformative; it is designed to generate completely new outputs, not to memorize and regurgitate pre-existing content

Oops! You appear to have consumed and believed your own shit you’re peddling

"Completely new"

Okay, then don't train it on anything at all and let's see how it turns out.

I wish we could hear music made by people who've never heard it before

To be fair, it's as "new" as what the major record labels put out!
