德国慕尼黑地区法院于7月31日裁定美国AI音乐公司Suno违反了版权法。[1]法院认定Suno在未经许可的情况下，使用受版权保护的音乐来训练其AI模型。[1]根据判决，Suno必须披露通过此行为获得的非法收益并支付赔偿金，具体金额待后续确定。[1]
此案由代表超过95,000名作曲家、作词家和音乐出版商的德国国家授权许可机构GEMA提起。[1]GEMA首席执行官Tobias Holzmueller表示这是"一项全球意义的判决"。[1]Suno平台目前全球用户每天生成约700万首歌曲，其中约75,000首进入流媒体服务。[1]
Suno对裁决表示不同意，称将评估包括上诉在内的所有可选方案。[1]这并非GEMA首次胜诉——该机构去年对OpenAI提起类似诉讼也获得了胜诉。[1]
A Munich regional court in Germany determined on July 31 that Suno, an American artificial intelligence music company, trained its model on copyrighted music without authorization, thereby breaching copyright law [1]. The court ordered Suno to disclose any illegal profits generated and to pay damages, with the specific amount to be determined in subsequent proceedings [1].
GEMA, the German national music licensing authority, brought the case on behalf of over 95,000 composers, songwriters, and music publishers, as well as more than 2 million rights holders globally [1]. According to GEMA CEO Tobias Holzmueller, the ruling carries significance beyond Germany's borders [1]. The decision comes as GEMA previously won a similar lawsuit against OpenAI last year [1].
Suno disagreed with the court's decision and stated it would evaluate all available options, including filing an appeal [1]. The platform currently generates approximately 7 million songs daily worldwide, with roughly 75,000 of them entering streaming services [1].
