What happened
On 31 August 2026, Gerencia 360 Music, Inc. — an independent record label, publisher, booking agency, and management company focused on Regional Mexican and Latin music — filed a copyright complaint against Suno, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 3:26-cv-09248). The suit also names data-scraping firm Bright Data Ltd. and its U.S. subsidiary Bright Data, Inc. as co-defendants. (Bright Data has no slug in the company table; this item is filed under Suno only.)
According to reporting on the complaint, Gerencia 360 alleges Suno copied its Spanish-language works to "quickly capture a significant share of the Spanish language AI user market," obtaining recordings and lyrics from YouTube, Deezer, and Genius using tools and proxy services supplied by Bright Data — allegedly circumventing authentication gates, subscription paywalls, rate limits, CAPTCHA challenges, and robots.txt restrictions. The complaint seeks up to $150,000 per work willfully infringed: $66.6 million from Suno for 444 registered works (and an identical sum from Bright Data on a contributory count), plus two DMCA counts covering 1,174 works ($2.935 million and $29.35 million) — just over $165 million in total across four counts. These are allegations; the complaint PDF itself has not yet been retrieved.
Why it may matter to you
If you work in Latin or Regional Mexican music, this is the first AI-training suit centred on a Spanish-language catalog, alleging the catalog was specifically targeted to teach the model Spanish-language generation. The circumvention-of-access-controls theory mirrors the Round Hill and UMG/Sony filings of the same month.
What is not yet known
The full text of the complaint (retrieval needed: Doc 1 on CourtListener docket 74725556); whether the court accepts the market-targeting theory; and how the contributory claims against the scraping vendor interact with the parallel Round Hill action filed by the same legal team.
