hacked files reveal suno trained on 2m youtube clips and lyrics from genius, backing riaa claims that it bypassed copyright protections to build its ai music generator.
a hacker accessed suno's 2023-2024 source code, revealing detailed instructions for scraping millions of audio files from youtube music, deezer, and lyrics sites. the logs show suno consumed 2,013,545 youtube clips and aimed to download 1 million podcast hours, using tools like bright data to bypass protections. this evidence directly supports the riaa's lawsuit accusing suno of unlawful stream-ripping rather than fair use, potentially jeopardizing suno's legal defense.
