A hacker breach has revealed that Suno scraped 2 million music clips from YouTube, according to leaked source code from 2023 and 2024. The stolen code also documents the collection of 113,000 hours of tracks from YouTube Music, 1 million hours of podcasts lasting at least 30 minutes, and content from platforms including Deezer and Genius.
The leak reinforces longstanding accusations from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) that Suno uses copyrighted music to train its AI models. The disclosure, first reported by 404 Media, provides concrete evidence of the scale and scope of Suno's data acquisition practices, adding weight to ongoing copyright infringement claims against the music generation platform.
