Recently, the Udio platform announced that users will no longer be able to download AI music works they created due to a settlement with Universal Music. This change has angered many music creators, as the download feature they once had was suddenly removed, leaving them unable to retain their works.
According to Udio's latest terms of service, the contract users signed when creating an account includes a clause waiving the right to join a class-action lawsuit. This means that even if users are dissatisfied with this decision, they have almost no legal avenues to protest or claim compensation. This situation has left many Udio users feeling disappointed and helpless.
This incident not only affects Udio users but may also serve as a warning to users of other similar platforms. For example, competitors like Suno may also face similar legal pressures, especially in their relationships with major record companies. In today's music industry, AI creation tools are gaining more attention, and such legal changes are undoubtedly restricting users' creative freedom.
Udio's decision has sparked widespread discussions, with many users expressing their dissatisfaction and concerns on social media. They are calling for more transparency and protective measures to safeguard their creative rights. Although Udio claims this change is due to legal considerations related to music copyright, user voices remain strong, and they hope the download feature can be restored.
As AI music creation rises, how to balance copyright and creative freedom has become an urgent issue. Users expect to protect their rights while continuing to enjoy the convenience of AI technology in creation.
Key Points:
🎵 Udio announced that users can no longer download AI music works, causing dissatisfaction and anger among creators.
⚖️ Users waived their right to join a class-action lawsuit when creating an account, leaving almost no legal avenues to protest.
🚨 Users of other similar platforms may also face potential legal pressure and need to pay attention to their rights.
