AI music generator Suno loses copyright infringement legal case

7 hours ago

AI music generator Suno lost a copyright infringement lawsuit to German licensing agency GEMA, filed in January 2025.
The Munich Regional Court ruled that Suno unlawfully used songs from GEMA's repertoire to train its AI models without licenses, violating German and US copyright law.
Suno must pay damages to GEMA (amount not yet confirmed), and other AI companies must now license music from GEMA's repertoire.
GEMA's CEO emphasized that AI models built on stolen intellectual property have no protection under the law, and the ruling strengthens Europe's cultural position.
Suno plans to appeal the decision, while the case highlights ongoing legal battles over AI-generated music and copyright.
