The German music rights society GEMA has won a major victory over Suno, with a regional court in Munich finding that the tech company had illegally trained its AI models on music GEMA represents, without obtaining a licence or paying the rights holders.
Some of the tracks that were effectively stolen by Suno include Forever Young by Alphaville and Boney M’s Daddy Cool. The court found that Suno’s use of the songs was in breach of both the German and US copyright law.
