Warner Music signs deal with AI music startup Suno, settles lawsuit

▤ Summary

Warner Music Group settled its copyright lawsuit with AI music startup Suno and struck a deal that changes how Suno can use licensed music. The agreement gives Suno access to more advanced licensed models next year and gives artists more control over the use of their names, likenesses, voices, and compositions. Warner Music also sold Songkick to Suno, which will keep operating as a fan destination under its new owner. The move follows Warner’s recent settlement with Udio and points to a broader shift in how major labels are monetizing AI music partnerships.
