Suno and major music labels reportedly clash over AI music sharing

The AI-powered musicmaker Suno is struggling to reach licensing deals with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. That’s according to a report from the Financial Times, which says both sides can’t agree on whether users should be able to share the AI-generated songs they create.

“Universal wants AI-generated tracks to stay inside apps such as Suno and not spread freely across the internet. Suno, however, wants users to be able to share and distribute those songs more widely,” the Financial Times reports. Suno, which lets users create AI-generated music with a text prompt, became the subject of a massive copyright lawsuit from Universal, Sony, and Warner Records in 2024.
