Italy's antitrust regulator probes Suno's terms over unilateral contract changes, broad user licenses and mandatory US arbitration

What changed

Italy's antitrust authority opened an investigation into AI-music startup Suno on October 6, saying several terms may be unfair to consumers. The regulator highlighted Suno's broad discretion to change contracts, services and subscription prices, an allegedly excessive user license including a waiver of moral rights that may conflict with Italian copyright law, and dispute terms requiring mandatory US arbitration, class-action waivers and exclusive Massachusetts jurisdiction. A consultation will open in the coming weeks; Suno had not immediately responded to Reuters.
