On October 23, 2026, Digital Music News reported that Suno has filed a motion to compel the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) to comply with a documents subpoena seeking monthly, label-by-label streaming performance data (2021-present) across Amazon, Apple, Deezer, Meta, Pandora, Snapchat, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tidal, TikTok and YouTube. Suno wants the data to undercut the record labels' market-dilution claims against its fair-use defense in the ongoing UMG/Sony Music copyright infringement suits. The dispute escalated after the MLC - after months of negotiation and an agreement on costs - reversed course at DSPs' behest and refused production (DMN, Oct 23, 2026). Udio/Uncharted Labs filed a "substantially identical" subpoena with a distinct motion to compel, sharing a joint schedule: MLC response by October 30, AI-platform replies by November 13.
