The two companies being sued, Udio and Suno, allow users to create songs almost instantly by submitting a text command, much like how AI services such as Midjourney produce images based on text prompts.
“The foundation of its business has been to exploit copyrighted sound recordings without permission,” said the lawsuits filed against Udio and Suno in federal court. The suits are asking the courts to declare that the companies have engaged in copyright infringement and to assign damages. Doroshow added: “These lawsuits are necessary to reinforce the most basic rules of the road for the responsible, ethical and lawful development of generative AI systems.”Advertisement
