Summary
Sony and Universal Music Group filed yet another suit against Suno. In its complaint shared with The Verge, Sony and UMG accuse Suno of “model laundering,” saying:. “Training a ‘new’ model on the outputs of an infringing model does not eliminate the infringement; it launders it, passing the value of Plaintiffs’ expression from the copied recordings into the tainted models, from those models into their outputs, and from those outputs into v6 … V6 is not a fresh start; it is the fruit of the same poisoned tree.” When v6 launched, Suno’s Jack Brody told The Verge it was “trained from the ground up, with a new set of data,” including “user data,” but did not offer details beyond that.
