Gerencia 360 Music, an independent record label, publisher, booking agency and management company specializing in Regional Mexican and Latin music, has sued Suno for alleged copyright infringement of 444 registered works. The suit also names Israeli data-scraping firm Bright Data Ltd. and its US subsidiary, Bright Data, Inc.
Gerencia 360 is represented by the same legal team that filed complaints for Round Hill Music against Suno and Bright Data, and a separate action against Anthropic.
Allegations
The complaint alleges that Suno obtained Gerencia 360’s recordings and lyrics by scraping licensed platforms including YouTube, Deezer and Genius, using tools and proxy services supplied by Bright Data.
The complaint states that obtaining the materials required Suno to circumvent the following:
- Authentication gates
- Subscription paywalls
- Rate limits
- CAPTCHA challenges
- robots.txt restrictions
Damages sought
With statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work willfully infringed, the complaint seeks $66,600,000 from Suno for the alleged infringement of 444 works.
Gerencia 360 seeks the same amount from Bright Data on a contributory infringement count.
Two further counts against all defendants, brought under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), cover 1,174 works and carry stated totals of $2,935,000 and $29,350,000.
Across the four counts, the figures pleaded total just over $165 million.
