Suno and Udio challenge the monopoly of music giants, but face massive lawsuits for alleged copyright infringement. Suno and Udio may be laying the groundwork for the idea that anyone can make synthetic music without any skills, but they highlight the same original sin as Napster: talented artists are left behind. After Napster was shut down, alternative pirated services quickly emerged, but legal alternatives like Apple Music and Spotify also arose, inspired by Napster’s foundation. These companies also disrupted the music industry, but were less destructive to the creators."There is nothing fair about stealing an artist's life's work, stripping away its core value, and repackaging it to directly compete with the original," the RIAA said in a press release. "Their vision of the 'future of music' is likely one where fans will no longer enjoy music by their favorite artists because those artists can no longer make a living."
