Suno 请求法院驳回 Jason Isbell 等音乐人的「身份权」集体诉讼

据 Billboard 11月3日报道,超级智能(SI)音乐生成平台 Suno 已请求法院驳回创作歌手 Jason Isbell 等音乐人提起的拟议集体诉讼,称这起围绕艺人「身份」的诉讼应当被驳回;法律新闻服务 MLex 同日亦报道,Suno 已提交动议,要求驳回这起涉及隐私与形象权(right of publicity)的主张。
这起诉讼由 Jason Isbell、David Lowery、Guy Forsyth 与 Eduardo Calle 等音乐人于8月31日在马萨诸塞州联邦法院提起,主张 Suno 未经许可利用他们的姓名、声音与形象等身份特征,让用户生成模仿其风格的歌曲。诉状举例称,输入 Isbell 的名字曾生成一首带其标志性嗓音与乡村风格的歌曲。原告寻求未定金额的损害赔偿、要求法院禁止 Suno 未经授权使用艺人身份,并申请集体诉讼地位;该案主张的核心是形象权而非版权,并包含一项伊利诺伊州生物识别隐私主张。
Suno 此前回应诉讼时表示,其平台旨在帮助人们创作新的原创音乐、而非借用任何人的名字牟利,并称已设置多项防护,包括屏蔽以具体艺人姓名为提示词的请求。此次驳回动议的具体论证尚待法院程序展开,案件仍在审理中。

Suno Moves to Dismiss Jason Isbell's Lawsuit Over Artist Identities
Suno, the super intelligence (SI) music generation platform, has asked a court to dismiss the proposed class action brought by singer-songwriter Jason Isbell and other musicians, Billboard reported on November 3, saying the lawsuit over artist 'identities' must be dismissed. Legal news service MLex likewise reported the same day that Suno had moved to dismiss the U.S. privacy and right-of-publicity claims.
The lawsuit was filed on August 31 in federal court in Massachusetts by Jason Isbell, David Lowery, Guy Forsyth, Eduardo Calle and others, alleging that Suno exploited their names, voices and likenesses without permission by letting users generate songs that mimic their styles. The complaint cites, as an example, a prompt using Isbell's name that produced a song in his characteristic vocal and country style. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, a court order barring Suno from using artists' identities without authorization, and class-action status; the case centers on right-of-publicity claims rather than copyright, and also brings an Illinois biometric privacy claim.
Suno has previously said its platform exists to help people create new, original music, not to trade on anyone's name, and that it has put safeguards in place, including blocking prompts for specific artists' names. The case remains pending as the motion to dismiss proceeds.
