Suno v6 faces a 60,202-recording lawsuit

Universal Music Group and Sony Music have filed a second suit against Suno over 60,202 sound recordings, arguing that its v6 model inherits value from earlier models trained on unlicensed material. Music Business Worldwide’s report on the federal complaint says the labels seek up to $150,000 per work, a theoretical ceiling above $9 billion, while Suno says v6 was trained from scratch with licensed partners. For builders, the new filing makes model lineage a product-risk question: log provenance across distillation and preference data, not only the final training corpus; the archive’s earlier Suno model review gives prior context.
