AI Music Tool Cans Downloads After Copyright Deal
23 Nov
Summary
- Udio has stopped allowing users to download AI music creations.
- This change follows a settlement with Universal over copyrighted training materials.
- Users can still create music but cannot obtain raw files of their songs.
Udio, a popular AI music generation service, has recently disabled the functionality for users to download their created music. This restriction was implemented following a settlement reached earlier this month between Udio and Universal concerning the use of copyrighted materials in training the AI models.
While the service itself remains operational, allowing users to sign up and create new AI-generated songs, the ability to obtain a raw file of these creations has been removed. This change significantly impacts the usability of the platform for creators who wished to have ownership of their generated output.
This development raises questions about the future of AI music generation and its interaction with copyright. As Udio navigates its new agreement with Universal, other similar services, like Suno, may also face comparable legal and operational hurdles in the evolving landscape of AI and intellectual property.
