00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02Jason Isbell and a group of musicians sued AI music platform Suno on Monday,
00:08alleging the company allows users to generate songs that imitate artists
00:12by using their names without permission, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:16The proposed class action lawsuit focuses on artists' name, image, and likeness,
00:21rather than copyrighted music.
00:23The musicians allege Suno's safeguards can be bypassed,
00:26and cited an example in which a prompt using Isbell's name
00:30generated a song that allegedly mimicked his vocals and country style.
00:35Suno denied the claims and said its platform is designed to create original music
00:39rather than imitate artists.
00:41The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages
00:44and an order preventing Suno from using their identities.
