Sony escalates AI music copyright lawsuit against Udio with massive claim expansion

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Sony Group has filed a second lawsuit against AI music generator Udio, significantly expanding its copyright infringement claims. The initial lawsuit involved 333 sound recordings, but this new filing encompasses over 30,000 recordings, increasing Udio's potential damages from $50 million to $4.5 billion. This action follows Udio's licensing agreements with other major music labels like Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, which have since withdrawn from the litigation, leaving Sony as the sole major label pursuing Udio.
