Sony sues Udio again, alleging copyright infringement across more than 30,000 songs
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-07-21
Sony Music has filed a new lawsuit against Udio, accusing the AI music generator of infringing more than 30,000 songs.
The list includes tracks such as Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog", Beyoncé's "Say My Name", and Harry Styles' "As It Was". Sony says this is only a small slice of the works Udio allegedly copied, and the complaint follows an earlier 2024 lawsuit brought by Sony, Universal Music Group, and Warner Records against Udio and Suno.
