8) FINAL SELF-CHECK (HARD STOP)
– All relevant facts from Warner Music Group, one of the major labels that sued AI song generator Suno last year for copyright infringement, has signed a licensing deal with the company. The new partnership,which settles their prior litigation,is designed to help Suno move toward a licensed model where users will pay to download songs made on its platform with artificial intelligence. According to the announcement, artists and songwriters will be compensated if they choose to opt in to AI deals, and will retain “full control” over how their music, likeness, and other copyrights are used. Suno has also acquired the concert listings Songkick, formerly owned by Warner, as part of the deal.

In a bid to hold back the AI music flooding streaming services, the current, more liberal Suno models will be phased out, according to the press release. Notably,the press release imagines a future where Suno launches “new,more advanced and licensed models,” but not fully licensed models,which would require mass industry cooperation.
