Let me know via Bluesky, Mastodon or LinkedIn.*\n\n#### 1: [Suno, Anthropic Face $1B Copyright Lawsuits From Round Hill Music Over AI Training](https://www.billboard.com/pro/suno-anthropic-copyright-lawsuits-round-hill-ai/)\n\nFirst off today, Bill Donahue at Billboard reports that the music publisher Round Hill Music has filed a lawsuit against both Suno and Anthropic over alleged copyright infringement in their AI training.\n\nIn both cases, Round Hill alleges that the firms used more than 500 of their songs to train various AI systems. Round Hill says that it is not against AI, but against the use of their music without permission or compensation.\n\nThe lawsuit follows the three major music companies, Sony, Warner and Universal, who all filed similar lawsuits against AI companies. In Suno’s case, Warner has settled their case, leaving Universal and Sony to fight on.\n\n#### 2: [Jamendo Drops Its Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Suno, Six Weeks After Filing It](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/jamendo-drops-its-copyright-infringement-lawsuit-against-suno-six-weeks-after-filing-it/)\n\nNext up today, Mandy Dalugdug at Music Business Worldwide reports that Jamendo has dropped its copyright infringement lawsuit against Suno just weeks after filing it.\n\nJamendo is a company that represents a variety of independent musicians. It sued Suno in late June, alleging that the company had used its catalog of music to train AI systems. However, it has now abruptly announced that it is dropping the lawsuit but doing so without prejudice, so it can refile it at a later date.\n\nJamendo is able to do this because Suno has not responded to the lawsuit in any way. Just before suing Suno, Jamendo filed a similar claim against Nvidia. In the meantime, Suno has announced changes to its platform, including that it will adopt watermarking to help identify AI-generated content.\n\n#### 3: [Motion Picture Association Strikes Deal with ByteDance for IP Protections in AI Video, Image Models](https://variety.com/2026/biz/news/motion-picture-association-deal-bytedance-ip-ai-seedance-1236836240/)\n\nFinally today, Corbin Bolies at Variety reports that the Motion Picture Association (MPA) has reached an agreement with the Chinese technology company ByteDance to integrate various IP protections into its AI models.\n\nThe story began after ByteDance released its Seedance 2.0 AI model. It was quickly used to create deep fakes of famous actors, including Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. This prompted the MPA to send a cease and desist letter to the company, prompting them to work together to reach an agreement.\n\nUnder the new agreement, ByteDance will implement guardrails to prevent the use of its Al models to create deep fakes or otherwise infringe on the copyright of the MPA’s members. According to ByteDance, it has since released two new versions of its Seedance Al model, both of which already reflect this change.\n\n*The 3 Count Logo was created by Justin Goff and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.*\n\n#### Want to Reuse or Republish this Content?\n\nIf you want to feature this article in your site, classroom or elsewhere, just let us know!
