The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) leveled two lawsuits against AI companies over mass copyright infringement of sound recordings used to train generative technology.
The blockbuster lawsuits have been filed by the music companies that hold the rights to recordings allegedly infringed upon including Sony Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings and Warner Records. The case against Suno, Inc., the developer of Suno AI, was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the other was filed against Uncharted Labs, Inc., the developer of Audio AI, in the Southern District of New York.
The plaintiffs argue that the AI firms have “flouted the rights of copyright owners in the music industry as part of a mad dash to become the dominant AI music generation service.
