Suno says its use of music on the open web is fair use, the RIAA disagrees.
The company argues that it accessed music that was available on the open web and its solution is no different than a cover artist recreating a song.The tech du jour, generative artificial intelligence is not without its controversies. Chief among these is the habit AI firms have formed whereby copyright is ignored in pursuit of innovation.
“The outputs generated by Suno are new sounds, informed precisely by the ‘styles, arrangements and tones’ of previous ones. They are per se lawful,” says Suno.“Accordingly, Suno’s training data includes essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open Internet, abiding by paywalls, password protections, and the like, combined with similarly available text descriptions,” writes Suno.
We’re almost certain that if somebody were to copy Suno’s bot and relabel it Funo, the company would take issue with that, even though Suno is on the public web. “Defendants had a ready lawful path to bring their products and tools to the market – obtain consent before using their work, as many of their competitors already have. That unfair competition is directly at issue in these cases.”
