Companies Challenge Subpoenas in Suno Copyright Case; Midterm Election Fights Reach Courts
Billboard reported that venture investors and a top streaming platform are challenging subpoenas in the Suno case against Universal Music and Sony Music, while The Hill reported that election disputes are already reaching the courts ahead of the midterms.
Billboard reported that several companies are challenging subpoenas in the legal fight between Suno and Universal Music and Sony Music. According to its summary, venture investors and a top streaming platform are among those contesting evidence demands in what the outlet describes as a landmark AI training copyright lawsuit. The article, written by Rachel Scharf, is headlined as a list of every company fighting the subpoenas, and it is available in Billboard's full report on the companies fighting the Suno subpoenas.
In a separate matter, The Hill reported that lawyers are preparing for the midterm elections to reach the courts. In a newsletter written by Zach Schonfeld, the outlet said that battles over California ballots and an Alaska Senate candidate are already heated. The Hill's summary says the Trump administration alleges that California sent 20,000 likely noncitizens mail ballots and is facilitating illegal voting by refusing to verify them. The full text is available in The Hill's newsletter on midterm election lawsuits in California and Alaska.
The Hill's summary also names U.S. District Judge David Carter, but the excerpt available for this report ends before stating what Carter has done or decided.
The two reports concern different matters. Billboard covers a copyright dispute over AI training, and The Hill covers election-related litigation in California and Alaska. Neither excerpt states an outcome in its case, and the reports do not say how the courts will rule.
