Suno bans artist prompts: Is 'Original Creation' enough to beat copyright lawsuits?
suno updated its community guidelines to ban prompts targeting specific artists and introduced download limits to stop royalty fraud after a german court ruled its training likely isn't fair use.
suno is tightening its rules after a german court ruled that its training on copyrighted music likely violates law because it can reproduce songs and compete with human artists. ceo mikey shulman stated the company excludes artist names from training metadata and will now block prompts targeting specific artists or copyrighted songs. the firm also introduced download restrictions to prevent bulk uploads to streaming platforms, citing a recent case where a user fraudulently collected $8 million in royalties. additionally, suno plans to implement industry-standard transparency tools to identify ai-generated tracks and partnered with audible magic and musixmatch to scan uploads for unauthorized content.
