Kooxda isu-qorista ruqsadaha muusikada madax-bannaan ee Merlin ayaa la iskaashatay madal muusik oo AI ah Udio si loo ruqsadeeyo duubista loogu tababaro moodelada AI. Tani waxay raacday heshiisyadii hore ee Udio la galay Universal Music Group (UMG) bisha October iyo Warner Music Group (WMG) bisha November, kadib markii labada shirkadood ee waaweyn ay maxkamad u qabteen Udio sababo la xiriira xuquuqda daabacaadda laakiin ay ka tanaasuleen dacwadaha markii ay gaadheen heshiis ruqsadeed. Heshiiska cusub ee Merlin wuxuu Udio u oggolaanayaa inay horumariyaan nidaamyada AI iyagoo adeegsanaya muusig laga helayo xubnaha Merlin ee dooranaya, iyadoo magdhowgu ku soo laabanayo summadaha iyo fannaanada ka qayb qaadanaya, sidoo kalena waxaa ku jira qoddobdo ilaalinaya “qiimaha farshaxanka bini’aadamka, ” sida lagu sheegay war-saxaafadeed laga soo saaray 20ka January. Agaasimaha guud ee Merlin Charlie Lexton ayaa adkeeyay muhiimadda ay leedahay in lala shaqeeyo hay’ado ixtiraama fannaanada iyo shuruudaha ruqsadda, isagoo xusay wadahadallo sii soconaya oo lala leeyahay Udio oo ku salaysan ogolaansho iyo magdhow cadaalad ah. Lexton ayaa doorkiisa bilaabay horaantii 2026, isagoo ka beddelay Jeremy Sirota oo hogaaminayay Merlin muddo lix sano ah ka hor intaanuu ku dhaqmeyn dhamaadka 2025. Merlin waxay matashaa sumado madax-bannaan oo ka yimaada in ka badan 70 dal, oo wadajir ah masuul ka ah 15% iibka muusikada la duubay ee aduunka, waxayna maamushaa ruqsadaha dhijitaalka ah ee madalaha sida Spotify, Apple Music, Meta, iyo YouTube. Agaasimaha guud ee Udio Andrew Sanchez ayaa sheegay in fannaanada madax-bannaan ay yihiin udub-dhexaadka iskaashigan, isagoo hubinaya inay sii haystaan xakameyntooda shaqadooda iyo inay helaan magdhow cadaalad ah. Wuxuu sharraxay in iskaashigan uu dhisayo madal si ay taageerayaashu iyo abuurayaashu u helaan qalab awood leh iyo xiriirro xooggan oo lala yeesho muusiga, taas oo ka dhigaysa fannaanada madax-bannaan kuwa hogaaminaya mustaqbalka isbeddelaya ee abuurista muusiga.

Heshiiskani wuxuu muujinayaa in Udio ay beddesho khilaafaad sharci ah oo ay la leedahay shirkadaha duubista una guurayaan iskaashi ganacsi oo ku dhex jira warshadda muusiga. Hore, Ururka Warshadaha Duubista ee Maraykanka (RIAA), oo matala dhammaan saddexda shirkadood ee waaweyn ee duubista, ayaa ku dacweeyay Udio iyo tartamihiisa AI Suno bartamihii 2024 sababo la xiriira “sinaan badan oo xuquuqda daabacaadda ah. ” Warner Music ayaa la heshiisay Suno bisha November, halka UMG iyo Sony ay wali ku guda jiraa dacwad ka dhan ah Suno; Koda oo ka socota Denmark iyo GEMA oo ka socota Jarmalka ayaa sidoo kale ku dacweysay Suno. Iyadoo la jirto, Merlin iyo Udio ayaa qorsheynaya inay iska kaashadaan si loo abuuro qaabab cusub oo hal-abuur leh, inkasta oo faahfaahinta aan la shaacin. Lexton ayaa xusay in iskaashigan uu muujinayo qaab-dhismeedka firfircoon ee Merlin ee qaabaynta fursadaha AI halkii uu ka noqon lahaa kaliya jawaab celin. Udio ayaa dhawaan xayeysiisay jagada Madaxa Iskaashiga Fannaanada ee Los Angeles ama New York, taas oo lagu ballanqaaday inay ballaariso ka qeyb qaadashada fannaanada, maamulayaasha, sumadaha, iyo daabacayaasha madasha Artist Platform ee Udio, iyadoo diiradda la saarayo hibada sare iyo hogaamiyayaasha warshadda muddada koritaanka ee muhiimka ah. Udio waxaa maalgelinaya maalgashadayaal ay ka mid yihiin a16z, Redpoint, Hanwha, will. i. am, Steve Stoute, iyo Kevin Wall. Heshiiska Udio ee Merlin wuxuu matalaa iskaashi kale oo AI ah kadib heshiis lala galay shirkadda dhawaaqa AI ee ElevenLabs taas oo loogu talagalay madalkeeda Eleven Music, oo soo saarta muusig tayo dheeraad leh oo ka socda amarro luqadeed dabiici ah. Jeremy Sirota, oo ahaa Agaasimihii hore ee Merlin, ayaa sheegay in heshiiska ElevenLabs uu muujinayo in dadka xuquuqda leh ee muusiga ay gaari karaan heshiisyo fikrad leh oo hore u eegaya istiraatiijiyadda AI.
