- Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group filed a new, 45-page lawsuit against Suno in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, escalating their ongoing legal fight over the AI music generator
- Suno's newer model is 'backed by several music companies,' yet the labels describe it as the 'fruit of the same poisoned tree,' arguing industry partnerships don't resolve their underlying copyright objections
Why it matters: The labels' second federal action against Suno targets a model with actual industry partnerships — a paradox that puts those partner labels at odds with Sony and UMG. The 45-page Massachusetts complaint keeps the copyright fight over generative music training data alive and signals the labels are unwilling to settle for industry-cozy alternatives.
