PHAno na kaya future ng SUNO?
January 2025: GEMA filed a lawsuit against U.S.-based Suno Inc. in the Munich Regional Court. GEMA alleged that Suno ripped and ingested songs from its repertoire to train its AI generator without licenses or compensating artists. March 2026: Proceedings began.
GEMA submitted evidence demonstrating that prompting Suno generated tracks matching the melodies, harmonies, and rhythms of major hits—including Alphaville's Forever Young, Lou Bega's Mambo No. 5, and Boney M.'s Daddy Cool. Suno's Defense: Suno argued that the court lacked jurisdiction, that its model learned musical patterns rather than storing files, and that training was covered under U.S. "fair use" and EU text/data mining exemptions.
July 31, 2026: The Munich Regional Court ruled in favor of GEMA. The court rejected Suno's fair use claims, finding that Suno memorized and reproduced protected works. It ordered Suno to halt unauthorized reproductions, disclose revenues earned from the infringement, and pay damages.
