Like many <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> companies, it is also being sued by all and sundry for ingesting <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/copyrighted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>copyrighted</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/material" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>material</span></a>. The parties in the suit — including major labels and the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/RIAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIAA</span></a> — don’t have a smoking gun, since they can’t directly peek at Suno’s <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TrainingData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrainingData</span></a>. But they have managed to generate some suspiciously similar-sounding AI generated materials, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/mimicking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mimicking</span></a> (among others) “Johnny B.

Whether AI training data constitutes fair use is a common but unsettled legal argument, and the plaintiffs contend Suno still amounts to “pervasive <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/illegal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>illegal</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/copying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>copying</span></a>” of artists’ works.”</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/NYA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NYA</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ElizabethLopatto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElizabethLopatto</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amazon</span></a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/DataTheft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataTheft</span></a> &lt;<a href="https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/3/article?id=Music%20-%20Amazon%20is%20blundering%20into%20an%20AI%20copyright%20nightmare" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neilyoungarchives.com/news/3/a</span><span class="invisible">rticle?id=Music%20-%20Amazon%20is%20blundering%20into%20an%20AI%20copyright%20nightmare</span></a>&gt;</p>
