Suno says v6 learned partly from music made by users, a fresh detail tied to another copyright fight with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. The labels accuse Suno of copying 60,202 recordings without permission, with the case sitting in federal court in Boston.
For v6, Suno points to licensed material from WMG, BMG, and Believe, along with community creations, user preference signals, and internal research. Earlier comments had framed user material around preference information, while uploaded audio was ruled out. Generated tracks were a different question.
The lawsuit argues earlier Suno models relied on unlicensed recordings, then fed their output or learned behavior into v6. At the statutory ceiling, the recording claims could reach just over $9 billion. A separate YouTube-related claim could add roughly $150 million, while Suno maintains its approach qualifies as fair use.
