What's the difference between the Suno and Udio lawsuits?
Both were filed by the major labels through the RIAA in June 2024, alleging mass copyright infringement of master recordings used as training data. UMG v. Suno was filed in D. Mass.; UMG v. Uncharted Labs (Udio) was filed in S.D.N.Y. The legal theory is essentially identical; the procedural posture differs by court.
Are there fair-use defenses in the music AI cases?
Both Suno and Udio have asserted transformative-use and statutory fair-use defenses, though the music context is materially different from the books and news cases — the works are master recordings (mechanical and synchronization rights), and the outputs can closely resemble specific songs in the training set.
