A data breach has exposed that AI music generator Suno scraped millions of songs and lyrics from major platforms including YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius to train its models, despite the company's previous silence on training data sources. The revelation comes as Suno faces multiple lawsuits alleging copyright infringement, including a high-profile case from the Recording Industry Association of America.
Why it matters: This evidence undermines Suno's fair-use defense in ongoing copyright litigation and intensifies scrutiny around how AI companies source training data without explicit permission from rights holders.
