AI Music Startups Defend Use of Copyrighted Songs as 'Fair Use'

Suno and Udio face legal battles with major record labels over AI training practices.

Suno and Udio admit to using copyrighted music to train their AI models, claiming it's protected by fair use.
The RIAA, representing major labels, argues that this practice constitutes industrial-scale infringement.
Suno likens its AI training to how human musicians learn and insists it doesn't store or sample original tracks.
The lawsuit could set a precedent for how copyright law applies to AI-generated content.
Both startups argue that the music industry is trying to stifle competition and innovation.
