Warner Music and Suno Patch Things Up — Because Apparently, Lawyers Bill by the Second

So here’s the latest steaming load from the music biz circus: Warner Music — yeah, the big, bloated corpse that keeps flogging the same five songs from the ‘80s — just made nice with AI music startup Suno. Remember that lawsuit they flung at each other over “unauthorized training data” or whatever the hell the legal jargon was? Well, turns out money fixes everything. Lawsuit? Settled. Cue the confetti and schadenfreude.

Instead of continuing to bash each other’s skulls in court, they’ve now decided to work *together.* Oh, how sweet. Suno gets to keep churning out AI-generated earworms, and Warner gets a slice of the pie — because God forbid anyone innovates without half the industry trying to suck them dry first.

The deal apparently means Warner’s artists can use Suno’s tech to “enhance creative expression.” Which is polite PR-speak for “we couldn’t stop the robots, so we figured we might as well rent them out.” I bet there’s already a fleet of lawyers drafting clauses that basically say “if it goes viral, we own it — twice.”

So yeah, everyone’s pretending to play nice now. Lawsuit’s gone, partnership inked, and all the execs are probably high-fiving over overpriced champagne while the AI writes 300 tracks about heartbreak in under 12 seconds. Progress, my ass — it’s just the same corporate nonsense with a shinier algorithm.

Anyway, if you enjoy watching mega-corporations pretend to innovate while screwing each other over in the name of “creativity,” here’s your bedtime reading: https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/25/warner-music-signs-deal-with-ai-music-startup-suno-settles-lawsuit/

Reminds me of the time I “settled” with the office printer after a week of paper jams — with a sledgehammer and a lighter. Problem solved, partnership terminated.
