Breaking news from the frontlines of the music vs AI war.
Sony Music and Universal Music Group just filed a new lawsuit against Suno.
Here's the twist. Suno built a new AI model in partnership with Warner Music and BMG, meaning they secured proper licensing deals this time around.
But Sony and UMG argue the new model is still built on top of Suno's old model, the one already accused of training on copyrighted music without permission.
Think of it like building a shiny new floor on top of a house with a cracked foundation. Doesn't matter how legit the new bricks are if what's underneath is compromised.
This case isn't just another lawsuit in the pile. It could set a major precedent for how generative AI companies handle legacy training data, even after they try to clean up their act.
The real question hanging over this whole industry: can you legally erase the sins of your training data just by signing new deals, or does a poisoned foundation taint everything built on top of it?
