"Warner Music Group on Tuesday announced a partnership with AI business Suno that will compensate music artists and songwriters, ending a legal battle between the two companies. Suno allows users to write text prompts to create songs. Last year, music companies including WMG sued Suno accusing it of using copyrighted songs to train AI models. Under the partnership, Cambridge, Mass.-based Suno will make changes to its platform next year and launch new licensed models and place download restrictions."
"WMG artists can choose to opt in to have their likenesses, voices, names and compositions used in AI-generated music, which will open up new revenue streams for them, Suno said in a blog post. Suno will launch licensed models next year with new download restrictions, barring users with free accounts from downloading songs they create, and limiting the number of downloads for paid-account users."
Warner Music Group reached a settlement with Suno that ends a copyright lawsuit and establishes a partnership to compensate artists and songwriters. Suno had been accused of using copyrighted songs to train AI models, prompting legal action. Suno will implement platform changes next year, launching licensed AI models and imposing download restrictions. Free-tier users will be barred from downloading songs they create, while paid users will face capped downloads with options to purchase more. WMG artists can opt in to permit use of their names, voices, likenesses, and compositions in AI-generated music, creating new revenue streams. Financial terms and participating artists were not disclosed.
