Suno launches Spark incubator program to feed independent artists to its AI machine

Suno 推出 Spark 孵化器计划，旨在将独立艺术家纳入其 AI 系统

Suno has ambitions to be more than just a toy to churn out AI slop, it also wants to be a streaming destination and to break new artists. Spark is their new incubator program for independent artists that provides grants, mentorship, and marketing support. Suno 的野心不仅限于做一个生产 AI 垃圾内容的玩具，它还希望成为一个流媒体平台，并挖掘新的艺术家。Spark 是他们为独立艺术家推出的全新孵化器计划，旨在提供资金补助、导师指导和营销支持。

To apply, artists need to be an unsigned singer, songwriter, or producer releasing music under their own name. They also need to agree to some terms and conditions that have raised some eyebrows over on the Suno subreddit. For one, you need to agree to make your songs available on Suno for remixing. That’s not necessarily super concerning, but the broad license it grants Suno to your works, including the ability to create derivative works, is. By agreeing, you also waive your right to a trial and to participate in a class action, and give Suno limited exclusivity to your material. Suno is already facing a proposed class action lawsuit from a group of independent artists. 申请者必须是未签约的歌手、词曲作者或以个人名义发布音乐的制作人。他们还需要同意一些在 Suno 的 Reddit 社区引发争议的条款。首先，你必须同意将你的歌曲开放给 Suno 进行混音。这本身未必令人担忧，但该条款授予 Suno 对你作品的广泛许可权（包括创作衍生作品的权利）则令人不安。通过同意这些条款，你还放弃了审判权和参与集体诉讼的权利，并给予 Suno 对你作品的有限独家权。目前，Suno 已经面临一群独立艺术家发起的集体诉讼。

Perhaps most alarming is the “Good Vibes Only” confidentiality and non-disparagement clause that requires you to promote Suno and give the company the right to request edits and removals of your content. It says the participant “will not at any time make any statements or representations, either directly or indirectly, whether orally or in writing, that portrays Suno, Suno personnel, and/or any Suno products or services in a negative light,” and doing so could mean being removed from the program. 最令人担忧的或许是那条“只准传递正能量”（Good Vibes Only）的保密与不诋毁条款，它要求你推广 Suno，并赋予公司要求编辑或删除你内容的权利。条款规定，参与者“在任何时候都不得以口头或书面形式，直接或间接地发表任何将 Suno、Suno 员工和/或任何 Suno 产品或服务描绘为负面的声明或陈述”，否则可能会被踢出该计划。
