Here are the 30,000 songs Sony is suing Udio’s AI music generator over

Sony Music Entertainment has filed a new lawsuit against the AI music generator Udio, accusing it of infringing the copyright of more than 30,000 songs including works by artists like Elvis Presley, Beyoncé, and Harry Styles. This follows a previous 2024 lawsuit that was limited to 333 works after a judge rejected Sony's motion to include the larger list, but Sony identified the additional songs using audio fingerprinting techniques after gaining access to Udio's training data. The company claims Udio trained its generative AI models on a vast amount of sound recordings from sources including YouTube and is now asking to block Udio from infringing its works and seeking up to $150,000 per work infringed. This lawsuit comes as other major music companies, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, have already settled with Udio and are partnering with the company as the music industry embraces AI.
