Udio Makes U-Turn: Grab Your AI Songs for JUST 48 HOURS After UMG Outcry

Udio just threw a lifeline to its subscribers, but not without a major drama first. After facing a tidal wave of backlash from users over new restrictions, the AI music platform is allowing downloads of AI-generated songs for 48 hours.

The uproar erupted when Udio announced a sudden policy shift tied to its settlement with Universal Music Group. Subscribers weren't shy about expressing their outrage, some even threatening legal action. Nothing like a little legal drama to kick things up a notch.

So what's the deal? Udio’s new download window is a temporary fix to calm the seas. Users can now snag those catchy AI tunes, but only for a limited time before the clock runs out.

Udio says they’re listening to feedback, but this entire saga raises a big question: Are AI companies ready for the real-world consequences of their algorithms? Only time will tell if this is just a Band-Aid or a genuine shift.
