Internationalization means that the economy, culture, science and technology of different countries and regions penetrate and influence each other. In the music industry, internationalization has brought a broader market and more opportunities for cooperation, but it is also accompanied by the problem of copyright protection. With the rapid development of technology, the application of AI technology in the field of music has gradually become popular, but this has also triggered a series of disputes about copyright. The Suno incident is a typical example, which shows us that in the context of internationalization, the application and enforcement of copyright laws face new challenges.

From an economic perspective, internationalization has promoted the prosperity of the music industry. More music works can transcend geographical restrictions, bringing rich profits to creators and record companies. However, this also makes copyright management more complicated. There are differences in copyright laws and regulations in different countries and regions, which has brought certain obstacles to cross-border music transactions and cooperation. At the same time, international market competition may also lead some unscrupulous businesses to infringe copyrights in pursuit of profits, thereby damaging the rights and interests of legitimate creators.

At the cultural level, internationalization enables music culture to be spread and exchanged more widely. Music of various styles borrows from and integrates with each other, enriching people's spiritual life. But at the same time, cultural differences may also lead to different understandings and respects of copyright concepts. Some countries and regions may have relatively weak awareness of copyright protection, which to some extent affects the smooth development of international music cooperation.

From a legal perspective, internationalization requires countries to strengthen coordination and unification in copyright law. The Suno incident reminds us that existing copyright laws may be insufficient in dealing with emerging technologies and changes in the international market. In order to better protect the rights and interests of music creators and promote the healthy development of the music industry, countries need to work together to improve the copyright legal system and strengthen international cooperation and law enforcement.

In addition, the public also plays an important role in the international music environment. Improving the public's copyright awareness and cultivating a cultural atmosphere of respecting intellectual property rights are the basis for promoting the healthy development of the internationalization of the music industry. Through education and publicity, more people can understand the importance of copyright and consciously resist infringement, which will provide a better creative environment for music creators and promote the production of more excellent music works.

In short, although the Suno incident is only a local phenomenon in the field of music copyright, it reflects the many problems faced by the music industry in the process of internationalization. Only through joint efforts in economic, cultural, legal and social aspects can the sustainable development of the music industry be achieved in the tide of internationalization, and the art form of music can bloom more brilliantly around the world.
