Udio Says Users Can Download AI Songs for 48 Hours After Backlash to UMG Legal Settlement

Udio Allows Download of AI Songs for 48 Hours After Backlash

Following a backlash from its users, Udio has announced that subscribers can download their existing AI songs for 48 hours.

The decision comes after the company faced criticism and threats of legal action from users, who were angered by the abrupt change in policies after a settlement with Universal Music Group (UMG).

Udio struck the UMG deal, under which the AI company immediately barred its paying subscribers from downloading their own songs, even those they had created long before the UMG deal.

Udio posted a statement on Reddit, announcing a 48-hour window for subscribers to download their existing songs, starting Monday.

The move is a response to growing outrage from users, who felt that the changes made to the platform were drastic and unfair.
