A statement from IMPF on Reservoir’s legal action against Suno and Anthropic

22nd October 2026

“IMPF welcomes and supports the legal action taken by Reservoir against Suno and Anthropic. The companies behind these generative AI products are built on and profit from the hard work and creativity of songwriters and composers without permission, remuneration or credit. The independent music publishing community will not tolerate flagrant infringement of copyright. Our business is built on songs, so it is vital that we protect their value at all costs. Together with IMPEL, we recently issued a licensing framework for generative AI that received widespread support from CMOs and others. The companies behind AI technology must now come to the table and negotiate fair licenses for songwriters’ and composers work.”
