Suno will watermark songs after UMG lawsuit — will artists accept the compromise?
suno will watermark ai-generated tracks and partner with musixmatch to block streaming uploads, aiming to settle lawsuits with umg and sony.
suno introduced audio watermarking and fingerprinting to prevent users from uploading ai-generated tracks to streaming services like spotify for profit, a key issue in its ongoing copyright battles with major labels. the startup also adopted musixmatch's sentinel system for copyright detection and updated community guidelines to ban deceptive audio and unauthorized voice clones. these moves follow a german court ruling against suno for copyright violations and a $400m series d raise in june.
