An unequal music

The world of music streaming has been hit with a cacophonous legal battle, as Suni and Udio, two popular music streaming services, face a lawsuit for copyright infringement filed by several major US record labels. This high-profile case underscores the complexities of intellectual property law in the digital age and raises significant questions about the future of music distribution. According to Wired, the music industry has “officially declared war on Suni and Udio, the most prominent artificial intelligence (AI) music generators” (shorturl.at/ybZ9n). The record labels, under the banner of the Recording Industry Association of America, include Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and Sony Music Group, are seeking significant damages and an injunction to prevent further unauthorised use of their music.
