"Warner Music Group (WMG) announced on Tuesday that it has reached a deal with Suno, settling its copyright lawsuit against the AI music startup. WMG said in a press release that the deal with Suno will "open new frontiers in music creation, interaction, and discovery, while both compensating and protecting artists, songwriters, and the wider creative community." WMG also announced that it has sold Songkick, a live music and concert-discovery platform, to Suno for an undisclosed amount."
"As a result of WMG's partnership, Suno will launch more advanced and licensed models that will replace its current ones next year. Downloading audio from the service will require a paid account, while users on the free tier will be limited to playing and sharing songs made on the platform. WMG's artists and songwriters will also have full control over whether and how their names, images, likenesses, voices, and compositions are used in new AI-generated music."
