Generative music platform Suno has filed fresh arguments seeking dismissal of major portions of a copyright case brought by artist Tony Justice, contending that YouTube's security features represent copy controls rather than access protections under federal law. The company insists the streaming site's rotating encryption system prevents downloads but does not restrict viewing, positioning the technology outside Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibitions that apply only to access barriers similar to DVD encryption.
Suno further challenges allegations that it produced derivative works by noting Justice failed to pinpoint any platform-generated tracks resembling the eight compositions named in the complaint. The artificial intelligence firm closed a $250 million funding round at a $2.45 billion valuation through Menlo Ventures despite ongoing litigation with record labels and artists over alleged unauthorized training on protected recordings.
