The story so far

Sony Music Entertainment has filed a new legal action against the AI company Udio. This follows a previous lawsuit in which a judge capped the number of recordings allowed in the original case to 333. The new filing specifically encompasses a list of 30,000 songs that were reportedly barred from the initial proceedings.

Coverage from outlets including The Verge, Billboard, and Music Business Worldwide emphasizes the scale of the infringement allegations. TweakTown reports that the copyright damages sought could reach $4.5 billion. Additional reporting by the Los Angeles Times, Engadget, and Digital Music News notes the strategic escalation of the legal conflict between the major label and the AI music developer.

Future developments depend on how the court addresses the 30,000 songs included in this latest filing. It remains to be seen how the judicial cap applied to the first lawsuit will influence the proceedings of this second action. No details have been specified regarding court dates or potential settlement timelines.
