German Court Rules AI Music Firm Suno Violated Copyright Law
A German court has ruled that AI music company Suno violated copyright law by processing songs from artists represented by Germany’s licensing agency Gema without authorization.
The Munich Regional Court ordered Suno to disclose revenue linked to the infringement and ruled that the company must pay damages, with the final amount to be determined. The decision can still be appealed.
The case involved music from several artists, including Alphaville, and is seen as part of a broader legal battle over the use of copyrighted works to train and develop AI systems.
Suno said it disagrees with the ruling and is considering all legal options, including an appeal.
