Sony Music Entertainment Sues Udio for Copyright Infringement
Sony alleges Udio illegally used over 30,000 songs for AI training.
Event Overview
Sony Music Entertainment filed a new lawsuit in a New York court against AI music generator Udio, alleging the unauthorized use of 30,117 songs to train its models. This action follows a judge's denial of Sony's request to add these tracks to a previous lawsuit filed in June 2024 alongside Universal and Warner. Sony claims to have identified the songs using audio fingerprinting and alleges Udio ripped recordings from YouTube. While Universal and Warner have since reached licensing deals with Udio, Sony continues to pursue the infringement claims.
