The German copyright collecting society GEMA has filed a lawsuit against the popular music AI
GEMA also provides  audio examples and sheet music for such copyright infringements, allowing one to judge for oneself how close the AI song is to the original. ;) GEMA sees the existence of musicians threatened if an AI like Suno generates music based on their works without compensating the artists. GEMA therefore demands an appropriate share of the value creation for AI providers like Suno, which generate revenue through subscription fees from their users. The American company Suno is in GEMA&s focus because, due to the high quality of the generated songs, it is currently arguably the most widely used music AI it generates music of any style, including vocals, via prompt, and the corresponding lyrics are also generated automatically. Already in the middle of last year, several major record labels in the USA filed lawsuits against the music AIs Suno and Udio also due to the double accusation of unlawfully using copyrighted songs for training and generating music that sounds too similar to them. However, there are no judgments yet these could, however, be groundbreaking for the future relationship between music-generating AIs and human artists. Will AIs become overwhelming competition for them or rather a new tool? Another question will also be important for the future: are works of art generated by AIs, such as music pieces or pictures, themselves protected by copyright? So far, the US Copyright Office has ruled that works created solely by AIs without human input do not receive copyright protection, but this could change through ongoing legal disputes.  more infos at bei www.gema.dedeutsche Version dieser Seite: GEMA verklagt Musik-KI Suno wegen Urheberrechtsverletzung |
