Music Business Worldwide included SourceAudio’s recent deal with ElevenLabs in their story about ElevenLabs’ Kobalt and Merlin deals.

ElevenLabs has also recently signed a training pact with SourceAudio, giving it access to millions of pre-cleared songs for AI training through SourceAudio’s dataset licensing program.
ElevenLabs’ proactive approach to music licensing currently stands in contrast to competitors Suno and Udio, both of which are facing lawsuits from major record labels over alleged copyright infringement in their training data.
