Suno v6 hit by second Universal/Sony copyright suit; Suno confirms v6 trained on users' creations
Suno
Universal Music and Sony Music filed a second copyright lawsuit against Suno, targeting the new v6 models released days earlier as 'the fruit of the same poisoned tree' — i.e. allegedly trained with the same infringing data as the original suit's models. Suno publicly confirmed v6 was trained on material from users' own uploads and called the suit 'fundamentally flawed on both the facts and the law', while paying users report a quality drop versus v5.
