Americana singer Jason Isbell leads a Massachusetts class-action accusing Suno AI of using musicians’ identities and real names in prompts to generate music, effectively stealing performers’ identity rights for commercial gain; the suit joins other claims against Suno from labels and artists, with Warner Music Group having settled elsewhere and the case seeking to halt ongoing exploitation and recover misappropriated value.
A hacker breached Suno AI and provided data to 404 Media, revealing that the company scraped tens of millions of songs and lyrics from platforms including YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, IMSLP and various podcasts. The leaked files reportedly include scraping instructions, dataset sizes, and even use of proxies to access YouTube content. The breach also exposed some Suno customers’ emails and Stripe payment details. Suno maintains its models were trained on publicly available data and says a 2025 security incident was limited, highlighting ongoing debates about fair use and the legality of AI training on copyrighted material in the music industry.
