The Story in Brief
AI-music generator Suno has struck a partnership and preemptive settlement with BMG, the fourth-largest music company, covering both recorded music and publishing. The deal resolves claims over Suno's past use of BMG's music in training data, with artists and songwriters required to opt in for future uses and get paid. Suno says new models built with industry partners are coming soon. The company previously settled with Warner Music Group in November 2024.
The Indian Opinion
The industry narrative pits AI as stealing from artists versus a future of happy collaboration. Both sides exaggerate. BMG's deal requires artist opt-in and payment, a concrete step, but Madonna's manager flatly refused, saying she 'does not want her music trained on'. The real test is not press releases but how many top artists actually opt in. Universal is still fighting Suno in court. Watch whether other big names follow Madonna or BMG's roster.
