Music attorney and artist advocate Miss Krystle is leading a growing wave of independent creators taking legal action against AI music platforms Suno and Udio, accusing both of copyright infringement on a massive scale. In a new video update, Krystle confirmed that class action lawsuits have been filed and already have the backing of nearly 800 artists.


“We filed the class action lawsuits,” she said. “They’re cooking. And we’re very curious to see how Suno and Udio respond.”


The lawsuits claim that the AI models developed by these companies were trained using “tens of millions of songs” without permission — a move that disproportionately impacts independent artists. “The far majority of the music created right now is by independent music creators,” Krystle said. “And they’re the ones who got scraped.”


To amplify the fight, Krystle and her legal team have launched an open letter directed at AI companies “built on stolen music.” It’s a call for accountability — and a rallying point for artists demanding ethical standards in AI development. Notable supporters already include Ben Jordan, Curtis King, DJ Pain 1, and Tony Justice, who serves as lead plaintiff.


“Independent music creators are some of the greatest innovators,” Krystle said. “They shape culture. They take risks. But they’re often the first to be exploited and the last to be protected.”

The lawsuits follow similar legal action taken by major labels last year, but Krystle noted one key difference: AI companies are now admitting what they did. Suno, for instance, acknowledged pulling millions of songs from public platforms like Spotify. Krystle said that could mean serious legal consequences — especially in light of a recent federal ruling that found pirated content used in AI training did not qualify for fair use.


How to Get Involved


Miss Krystle urged all creators and supporters — not just musicians — to get involved:


  • Join the lawsuit as a plaintiff if you’re a creator

  • Sign the open letter and stand in solidarity

  • Stay updated by joining the email list


All actions can be taken at indieailawsuit.com.


“This is a movement,” Krystle said. “If you care about music, creativity, and fairness, we need your voice now.”
