Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Records have filed a federal lawsuit against AI companies Suno and Udio for copying music without permission to train AI systems to create music, alleging large-scale copyright infringement that will directly compete with human artists' works, reduce their value, and ultimately overwhelm human artists. The record companies claim that Suno and Udio's users can recreate popular song elements and generate sounds indistinguishable from famous artists like Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, and ABBA. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages and claims each copied song could cost up to $150,000, with Suno and Udio accused of replicating 662 and 1,670 songs respectively in the first lawsuit against music-generating AI.
