Hacker breached Suno's database and exposed source code howing how the company scraped music to train its AI. Digital Music News called the breach a "smoking gun" in ongoing copyright infringement lawsuits. Suno admitted scraping the web last year and argued the practice was legal.

The hacker told 404 Media they also accessed Suno's customer list, emails, phone numbers and Stripe payment details. Suno told Pitchfork no personal data was compromised and the exposed code was outdated.

The breach exposes the fragile cybersecurity of popular companies.

A Punk Rock Blade Runner for Artists!!!

Amy Davis and James Duval (“Frank the Bunny” from Donnie Darko) play a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Sh*tville, Earth. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber drug called Skullf*ck.

Ingenious production design and savvy location shooting evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which the filmmakers frame this scathing satire of art world pretension.
