German music collection society GEMA notched another major legal victory in its campaign to rein in AI companies’ use of copyrighted material on Friday, winning the case it brought against the generative music platform Suno.

The Munich Regional Court has ruled that Suno is in breach of German and U.S. copyright law by training its AI systems on songs from GEMA’s repertoire and storing and reproducing them.
