The launch follows a familiar script.
Suno’s “innovative” audio scraping technique is actually just a rehash of old ideas. The company’s “groundbreaking” approach to audio collection is just a fancy way of saying “we took a lot of audio from the internet”. The fact that they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar is just the cherry on top. And of course, the “sensitive information” obtained by the hacker is just the usual assortment of poorly secured credentials and unencrypted data. Because who needs security when you’re “disrupting” the status quo?
