What happened
Winamp Group's subsidiary Jamendo SA amended its U.S. federal complaint against NVIDIA, which has now been formally served; the first hearing is scheduled for January 12, 2027. Separately, Jamendo withdrew its complaint against Suno and plans to refile an updated, more comprehensive version shortly.
Why it matters
Jamendo is broadening its fight over alleged unauthorized use of musical content and data in AI development. Beyond NVIDIA and Suno, it has identified six additional technology and AI companies that it says used its content or data, and has already contacted some of them.
What to watch
Jamendo says its priority is a commercial resolution — compensation for past uses plus licensing or partnerships for future use — and it intends to enforce its rights where talks fail, as it has in the NVIDIA and Suno cases.

This update shows Jamendo, a subsidiary of Winamp Group, moving its U.S. legal actions forward while simultaneously widening its net. The amended NVIDIA complaint has been served, which is a procedural milestone that lets that case advance toward its scheduled January 2027 hearing. The decision to withdraw and refile the Suno complaint is described as procedural, aimed at including all relevant elements from the start.
The more significant development is the expansion beyond the two initial targets. Jamendo says it has identified six additional companies in the technology and AI sectors that used its content or data, based on publicly available information. It has already contacted some of them, indicating an active outreach phase. Its stated preference is commercial resolution — compensation and licensing agreements — which suggests the legal filings against NVIDIA and Suno may serve as a template for broader enforcement across the AI music-data space.
