Winamp Group SA announced that its subsidiary Jamendo SA has filed a federal lawsuit in the United States against NVIDIA Corporation, alleging unauthorized use of Jamendo-related content in the development and operation of artificial intelligence technologies. The complaint, filed on June 22, 2026, includes claims for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. The actions seek to protect the intellectual property rights of the company and the artists it represents, addressing broader questions regarding the use of copyrighted works in generative AI systems.

US Lawsuit and Copyright Claims

The complaint filed in the U.S. Federal Court pursues remedies under the U.S. Copyright Act, including damages and injunctive relief. The document specifies that statutory damages may reach up to USD 30,000 per infringed work, and up to USD 150,000 per infringed work in cases of willful infringement. These claims arise from the alleged exploitation of musical content and related data without proper authorization or compensation.

Belgian Proceedings and Jurisdiction

Simultaneously, the Ghent Enterprise Court confirmed its jurisdiction on June 11, 2026, in the proceedings initiated by Jamendo against NVIDIA Technologies Belgium. This case concerns a commercial claim of approximately EUR 16 million, involving more than 55,000 works. The court rejected procedural objections raised by NVIDIA Technologies Belgium and established a timetable for the continuation of the proceedings.
