Sony Slams Udio Over 30K Songs | Tech News

Sony Music is launching a massive new lawsuit against AI music generator Udio, claiming it stole over 30,000 songs — from Johnny Cash to Beyoncé — to train its models. This follows a previous case where Sony, Universal, and Warner sued Udio, but this time they’re focusing exclusively on the 30,000 tracks, using advanced audio fingerprinting tech. While Universal and Warner have already settled and now partner with Udio, Sony is demanding $150,000 per infringed song and wants the court to halt Udio’s use of their music. The case highlights the music industry’s struggle to balance AI innovation with copyright protection — and this one could grow even larger as Sony digs deeper.
