Yesterday, the @riaa_awards announced the filing of two copyright infringement cases based on the mass infringement of copyrighted sound recordings copied and exploited without permission by two multi-million-dollar music generation services, Suno and Udio.
⚙️This case is focused on GenAI, a form of artificial intelligence that ingests data, uses machine learning and deep learning algorithms to analyze that data, identifies patterns and then generates content based on that training data.
🎤 Independent artists, record labels, and songwriters make immense contributions to culture, yet they often suffer the most when services build businesses by using their work without permission or compensation.

The project includes key North American labels, who will provide input on any developments needed to the tool for a full roll-out, as well as providing a pathway for future calculator adaptations in other key territories.
