For example, Suno explains, “The training data basically includes all music files of reasonable quality accessible on the open Internet that comply with paid subscriptions, password protection, etc., combined with similarly available text descriptions.”
Both Suno and Udio claimed that they had used copyrighted material (copyrighted material). Sony Music Group, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group – This falls under the “fair use” exemption from U.S. copyright law.
