The labels are demanding a whopping $150,000 for each copyrighted work they claim was infringed. This is not just about a few songs; it's a broadside aimed at the heart of AI-generated music. The rise of AI music generators has sparked a fierce debate about the future of human labor and compensation in the entertainment industry.
The lawsuits against Udio and Suno are just the latest salvo in the growing war against generative AI providers. Music labels argue that to create services like those offered by Suno and Udio, these companies had to copy popular recordings for model training. The legal docs state that realistic AI-generated songs are only possible if trained on a massive library of recordings, many of which still have copyright protections.
But the AI providers aren't backing down without a fight. They counter that the data they use is publicly available and that their models produce transformative works. Think of it as remixing versus plagiarizing—they're adding something new rather than just copying what's already there.
