Suno launches v6 and is back in court nine days later
On September 9, Suno released v6, a family of three music-generation models that the company says it developed with industry partners, among them Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe. On September 18, Universal Music and Sony Music went back to federal court in Boston with a second lawsuit covering 60,202 recordings. Their argument is that v6 carries over the earlier infringement, since, according to the complaint, it learned from how users interacted with older models that had been trained on unlicensed music. The case comes after a German court in Munich ruled mostly against Suno in July, and while Brazil's AI bill, with its copyright chapter still unresolved, is expected to reach a vote only after the October elections.
