UMG and Sony Music file a new lawsuit against AI music-generation company Suno in federal court, arguing Suno’s latest model still infringes copyrighted works owned by the labels. The complaint is filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and is presented as a continuation of earlier legal disputes.
According to the outlets, Suno characterizes its updated model as a step toward working with the music industry, saying it is designed to “move forward together” with business partners. UMG and Sony dispute that framing, saying the model amounts to continued “trampling” of human artists’ rights. Variety reports the filing is a 45-page complaint, while Billboard highlights the labels’ argument that the new approach is “fruit of the same poisoned tree,” referencing their contention that the alleged infringement persists despite any label-backed support.
The reporting focuses on whether Suno’s new iteration—described as supported by multiple music companies—changes the legal analysis around copyright and training or output-related issues. Both sources agree the labels are seeking legal remedies and are continuing to litigate the matter rather than withdrawing their claims.
