|---|---|
| Court | Federal Court of Canada[2] |
| Filed | September 2, 2026[1][2] |

| Status | Active[1] |
SOCAN v. Suno Inc. is a Canadian copyright action filed September 2, 2026, in which the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada alleges that Suno’s generative-AI platform infringes performing rights in musical works.[1][2]
Allegations
SOCAN alleges that Suno generates and streams outputs that replicate songs in its repertoire without consent or compensation.[1][2] The organization says its claim identifies a sample of 150 publicly available Suno outputs and that additional unauthorized outputs may emerge during the litigation.[1]
SOCAN seeks damages and orders requiring Suno to stop making infringing outputs available and comply with Canadian copyright law; the allegations have not been proven in court.[2]
Significance
The action targets allegedly infringing outputs and their streaming as public performances, rather than focusing only on the use of copyrighted music to train an AI model.[1][2]
