Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group aren’t done with Suno in federal court.
The two labels filed a new, 45-page lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the District of Massachusetts against the AI music-generation
company, alleging Suno’s new model, backed by several music companies, still infringed on Sony Music and UMG’s copyrighted works. The two (along with some of their respective imprints, named as fellow plaintiffs) alleged Suno’s admission that its new “v6” family of models trained upon the outputs of its previous models meant that, despite the company’s claims its new models do not infringe on copyrighted work, “training a ‘new’ model on the outputs of an infringing model does not eliminate the infringement; it launders it.”
“V6 is not a fresh start; it is the fruit of the same poisoned tree,” the labels claimed.
Suno did not have an immediate comment.
