Suno Allegedly Copied Copyrighted Music Without Permission to Train Its Generative AI Models

2024-06-24

Record labels and independent artists alleged that Suno copied copyrighted recordings without permission and used them to train its generative music models. Suno later acknowledged training on tens of millions of publicly accessible recordings while asserting fair use. Plaintiffs alleged the practice deprived rightsholders of licensing control and compensation and enabled competing AI-generated music.

Incident 14801 Report
Purportedly AI-Recreated Clips from Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage' Video Reportedly Appeared in FBI Promotional Video Posted by Kash Patel

2026-05-04

An FBI promotional video posted by Director Kash Patel reportedly used AI-generated clips that closely recreated shots from the Beastie Boys' 1994 "Sabotage" music video directed by Spike Jonze. NPR identified at least six matching clips and quoted experts who said AI likely recreated the footage, possibly from screenshots or short clips. The video promoted FBI anti-fraud work and received roughly half a million views by the next day.
