✦AI Summary
Sony has filed a new lawsuit against AI music startup Udio, seeking $4.5 billion in damages for the unauthorized use of over 30,000 copyrighted recordings. The lawsuit argues that because Udio has signed licensing deals with other labels, it acknowledges a market for its training data.
The other two major labels made peace with Udio months ago. Sony did the opposite. On Monday it filed a fresh lawsuit in New York, Billboard reported, covering 30,117 recordings and leaving Udio facing a far bigger bill.
