Suno has confirmed that YouTube audio entered its AI training pool through YT-DLP. In court, the company is fighting UMG Recordings, Capitol Records, and Sony Music Entertainment while arguing fair use, questioning the labels’ right to pursue the circumvention claim, and accusing them of anticompetitive conduct.
Another detail gets wild fast. Suno says its training involved recordings numbering in the tens of millions from public sources. More than 12 million users have made music with the service, while Pro costs $8 monthly and Premier runs $24.
Damage math could get nasty. The labels seek as much as $150,000 for each of 560 recordings, while Suno argues innocent infringement could cut statutory damages to $200 per work. Warner Music Group already settled its dispute and reached a licensing agreement.
Outside court, Suno is preparing V6 and says BMG and Warner Music Group are involved with upcoming licensed models. Download limits sit at 20 for Pro, 60 for Premier, and seven for free accounts.
