- DistroKid has until 6 November to respond as the parties work on a resolution.

## Summary

Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment are seeking DistroKid data for their copyright case against AI music company Suno, arguing it could show how AI-generated recordings affect the music market. The companies have told a Manhattan federal court they are working towards a resolution in their dispute over the data request.

The labels want monthly figures on tracks DistroKid’s prediction model flagged as likely AI-generated, including streams, royalties and recordings attributed to Suno. DistroKid says it distributes 30–40% of new music worldwide; it has until 6 November to respond to the labels’ request for a court order, which the judge has not yet decided. Suno argues that training its models on copyrighted music is fair use, a defence for which market impact is relevant.
