"The new partnership, which settles their prior litigation, is designed to help Suno move toward a licensed model where users will pay to download songs made on its platform with artificial intelligence. According to the announcement, artists and songwriters will be compensated if they choose to opt in to AI deals, and will retain "full control" over how their music, likeness, and other copyrights are used."
"In a bid to hold back the AI music flooding streaming services, the current, more liberal Suno models will be phased out, according to the press release. Notably, the press release imagines a future where Suno launches "new, more advanced and licensed models," but not fully licensed models, which would require mass industry cooperation. Litigation by Universal Music Group (UMG) and Sony Music Entertainment, the companies that filed the lawsuit against Suno alongside Warner, is ongoing."
Warner Music Group signed a licensing deal with Suno, settling their prior litigation and enabling a shift toward a paid, licensed model. Artists and songwriters can opt in to AI agreements to receive compensation and retain full control over how their music, likeness, and copyrights are used. Suno acquired concert listings service Songkick from Warner as part of the agreement. Suno will phase out its current, more liberal models to limit AI-generated music flooding streaming services while planning new, more advanced licensed models that fall short of a fully licensed, industry-wide solution. Litigation by UMG and Sony against Suno continues.
