Here are the 30,000 songs Sony is suing Udio’s AI music generator over
Sony Music Entertainment has filed a new lawsuit against AI music generator Udio, alleging copyright infringement of over 30,000 songs. This follows a previous legal battle where a judge limited the scope of a similar case to 333 works.
Why it matters
The case represents a significant legal test for generative AI companies regarding the use of copyrighted music in training datasets.
Sony Music Entertainment has filed another lawsuit against Udio, accusing the AI music generator of infringing the copyright of more than 30,000 of its songs, ranging from Elvis Presley’s Hound Dog to Beyoncé’s Say My Name, and Harry Styles’ As It Was. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court on Monday, claims that this list represents “only a small portion of Plaintiffs’ works that Udio infringed,” as reported earlier by Music Business Worldwide.
