UMG and Sony Hit Suno with Second AI Training Lawsuit Over Unlicensed Recordings

Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment filed a second lawsuit against Suno in Boston, alleging Suno copied about 60,000 copyrighted recordings to train its AI models, including the v6 suite launched Sept. 9, and seeking damages potentially in the billions plus an injunction and a jury trial. The complaint argues v6 is not a fresh start but the product of training on outputs of infringing models, while Suno contends it trained v6 from scratch; the case follows their earlier suit and underscores concerns about market harm from AI-generated music.

Music Giants Sue Suno Over AI Model V6, Claim Infringing Outputs

Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group filed a new 45‑page lawsuit in the District of Massachusetts accusing Suno’s new v6 AI music models of infringing their copyrights by training on the outputs of prior, allegedly infringing models; the labels argue that training on those outputs does not erase infringement. Suno says v6 uses licensed content from partners (WMG, BMG, Believe) and user-generated signals, and that its training aligns with fair use, noting licensing deals with partners. The case cites 60,202 infringed recordings since Suno’s debut and seeks a ruling of infringement, statutory damages and attorneys’ fees, marking another front in the ongoing AI copyright battles in the music industry.

Suno unveils its first AI music model with record-industry backing

Suno’s v6 is its first AI music model made with record-industry partners Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, plus user data, and is released in three variants (v6, v6-wild, v6-mini) with new editing and cross-element mixing capabilities. It shows improved genre understanding but still can’t reproduce the natural imperfections of human music; training data includes licensed content and user data, raising questions about content provenance. The rollout begins today.

Isbell Sues Suno Over AI That Evokes Musicians’ Identities

Country star Jason Isbell leads a class-action against Suno, alleging its AI music platform encodes musicians’ identities as tokens to generate identity-evocative songs, descriptions and images from prompts, violating rights of publicity and potentially representing a class of artists; Suno says the claims are meritless and that it blocks prompts for specific artists, though the lawsuit argues those safeguards can be bypassed.
