RIAA sues music generation platforms for copyright infringement in landmark case

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has filed lawsuits against Suno and Udio, accusing them of training their recording models with original and copyrighted songs from artists signed under major record labels. These platforms, specializing in music generation and text-to-music conversion, are available in beta with free versions and payment plans.

The lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court of Massachusetts and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The RIAA believes that these services infringe on copyright laws by copying and exploiting artists’ work without permission, affecting musicians across various genres, styles, and time periods.

The record labels argue that Suno and Udio trained their AI models by copying copyrighted recordings, resulting in songs that closely resemble existing tracks. The platforms claim to use high-quality music available publicly online, but the RIAA asserts that this does not justify commercial exploitation of copyrighted material.

Examples provided in the lawsuits include songs like ‘Sunshine Melody’ and ‘Subliminal Hysteria’, which bear striking similarities to existing copyrighted works. The RIAA seeks acknowledgment of copyright infringement, preventative measures for future violations, and compensation for damages resulting from the unauthorized use of copyrighted recordings.
