According to Variety, The Recording Industry Association of America has announced that they have filed two alleged copyright infringement cases against the artificial intelligence music services Suno and Udio. The alleged filing is based on what it allegedly describes as the alleged “mass infringement of copyrighted sound recordings copied and exploited without permission by two multi-million-dollar music generation services.”

The alleged cases are the latest in the music industry’s battle to try to prevent the alleged unlicensed use of copyrighted sound recordings to allegedly “train” generative artificial intelligence models. The lawsuit against Suno was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

The alleged case against Uncharted Labs was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Records are all named as plaintiffs in the lawsuits, stating that they hold rights to sound recordings which they claim were allegedly infringed upon by Suno and Udio.

According to the announcement, the lawsuits seek alleged declarations that the two services allegedly infringed plaintiffs’ copyrighted sound recordings, alleged injunctions barring the services from allegedly infringing plaintiffs’s copyrighted sound recordings in the future and alleged damages for the alleged infringements that they claim have allegedly occurred.

While talking about the alleged filings, RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier says: “The music community has embraced AI and we are already partnering and collaborating with responsible developers to build sustainable AI tools centered on human creativity that put artists and songwriters in charge. But we can only succeed if developers are willing to work together with us. Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all.”
