Sony and UMG are suing Suno again
TL;DR
Sony Music and Universal Music Group have filed another lawsuit against Suno. The labels claim its new v6 model still infringes their copyrights because it was trained on user outputs from earlier Suno models, which were themselves trained on unlicensed music taken from YouTube and other sources. The complaint accuses Suno of "model laundering", arguing that training a new model on the outputs of an infringing one does not remove the infringement.
Nauti's Take
The lawsuit could settle a question the whole industry faces: can a model be built on synthetic output from its predecessor? A ruling against Suno would give licensed competitors an advantage, since clean training data becomes a selling point.
The risk sits with anyone using Suno tracks commercially, because the legal status stays shaky for creators and agencies until this is resolved.
