    Suno has struck a “global alliance” with the music company BMG.

    “Together, the companies will develop entirely new music experiences that reimagine how artists and fans can connect,” according to a press release. “The agreement ensures that BMG artists and songwriters who choose to participate have their rights protected and are compensated for their music, while also settling prior use of BMG recordings and publishing works.”
