Sony escalates Udio copyright battle with new training-data lawsuit

Sony filed a separate lawsuit against AI music generator Udio alleging it used 30,117 copyrighted recordings without permission to train its models. A court previously rejected adding those recordings to Sony’s 2024 complaint but allowed infringement claims for all copyrighted works; Udio reportedly ripped training data from YouTube (which it says is fair use), while Universal and Warner have licensing deals with Udio and Sony remains unlicensed. Sony seeks a jury trial and up to $150,000 in statutory damages per infringed work, with the case involving tracks linked to artists such as Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Beyoncé, Bob Dylan, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson; The Verge has the list of songs involved.

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.

Sony expands AI music copyright battle with Udio over 30,000 songs

Sony Music Entertainment has filed a new lawsuit against Udio, accusing its AI music generator of infringing the copyrights of more than 30,000 Sony songs—an amount the company says could grow. The filing references the 2024 suits by Sony, UMG and Warner against Suno/Udio and notes that Sony sought to add tens of thousands more works after discovering training data, using an “audio fingerprinting” approach; a judge previously limited the original case to 333 songs. With UMG and Warner having settled and partnered with Udio, Sony is pursuing blocking orders and up to $150,000 per infringing work.

Universal Music Group Advances AI Music Initiatives and Settles Lawsuit with Udio

The settlement between Universal Music Group and Udio marks a significant victory for musicians and the music industry, as it restricts AI-generated music to a controlled platform, ensures artists' permission and compensation, and challenges the notion that AI training on copyrighted music can be free of cost. This outcome signals a potential shift in how AI and copyright law intersect in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of paying for training data and protecting human creativity.
