Italian Authority Investigates Suno's Terms of Service for Unfair Consumer Practices

Italy's antitrust authority announced it had opened an investigation into AI music startup Suno regarding its terms of service. The regulator stated that the terms could create a significant imbalance in user rights and obligations. Specific concerns include Suno granting itself broad discretion to unilaterally modify its contract and subscription prices without justification.

The authority noted that the license granted by users was excessively broad and included a waiver of moral rights that may conflict with Italian copyright law. Furthermore, Suno's terms require users to resolve disputes through mandatory arbitration in the United States, waiving class-action rights and accepting Massachusetts as the exclusive jurisdiction.
