Law Firm Behind Historic $260B Settlement Joins Lawsuit Against Suno & Udio

The legal battle against AI music generators Suno and Udio has taken a major turn after Hagens Berman, the law firm behind the historic $260 billion tobacco settlement, joined the ongoing class-action lawsuit against both companies.

Working alongside Delgado Entertainment Law, Hagens Berman is now representing independent musicians who claim Suno and Udio trained their AI models using copyrighted recordings without permission. The lawsuit alleges the companies incorporated protected music into their training datasets without obtaining licenses or compensating rights holders.

Hagens Berman's involvement adds significant legal weight to the case. The firm is widely recognized for leading some of the largest class-action lawsuits in U.S. history, making its decision to join the litigation a notable development in the growing conflict between the music industry and generative AI companies.

If successful, the lawsuit could have far-reaching consequences for how AI companies source training data and how copyright law is applied to generative music technologies. The outcome may influence future licensing practices and establish new legal precedents for the rapidly evolving AI music sector.
