Gerencia 360 sues Suno, Bright Data in California

Suno is facing a fresh copyright suit from Gerencia 360 Music, a Burbank label and publisher built around Regional Mexican and Latin acts. Bright Data, the Israeli scraping firm, and its American arm got named alongside it. Total pleaded across four counts sits just above $165 million.

The claim goes like this. Suno allegedly hoovered up Spanish-language catalog to grab market share among Spanish-speaking users, pulling audio and lyrics off YouTube, Deezer, and Genius through Bright Data proxies while ducking logins, paywalls, rate limits, CAPTCHAs, and robots.txt.

Richard S. Busch, the attorney who beat Robin Thicke for the Gaye family in Blurred Lines, is driving. His crew filed near-identical paperwork for Round Hill weeks back, and Round Hill has zero interest in settling.

Numbers stack up as $150,000 per willfully infringed work, with 444 registrations pegged at $66,600,000 and separate DMCA counts covering 1,174 works.

One detail stands out. Suno refused a norteño track with Spanish lyrics, yet translating them into English unlocked it, and the platform spat out a Spanish title anyway.
