Sony expands Udio fight with new suit over 30,117 AI-training recordings

Sony Music Entertainment filed a second copyright infringement lawsuit against Udio in SDNY, accusing it of copying 30,117 sound recordings to train its AI models. The recordings are a subset of matches identified during discovery and were not added to the original case after a June ruling allowing separate action. Udio has licensing deals with several major labels, but Sony remains unlicensed; the new suit seeks statutory damages up to $150,000 per work, plus DMCA-related penalties and an injunction, highlighting the ongoing clash over training data for AI music tools.

Supreme Court narrows ISP liability in music-piracy ruling

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Cox Communications cannot be held liable for copyright infringement by its subscribers in Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment, reversing the Fourth Circuit. The Court said an internet service provider is liable only if it intends the service to be used for infringement, and Cox’s deterrence steps (warnings, suspensions, terminations) supported this view. The original $1 billion damages verdict was not reinstated, and while Justices Sotomayor and Jackson concurred with the outcome, they disagreed with the reasoning. The Trump administration supported Cox, and the decision narrows the scope of secondary liability for ISPs.
