Suno Adds Tamper-Resistant Watermarking, Download Limits and Musixmatch Copyright Detection to Kill Streaming-Royalty Fraud
TechCrunch·medium signal
CEO Mikey Shulman announced audio watermarking and fingerprinting to trace any song generated on Suno, plus a new download policy explicitly designed to limit mass distribution to streaming platforms. Updated community guidelines now prohibit scams, spam and fake engagement, targeting schemes where users generate thousands of tracks, upload them to DSPs and bot the plays for fraudulent royalties. Suno also signed with lyrics provider Musixmatch to use its Sentinel copyright-detection system — all of it landing while the company fights copyright litigation on several fronts.
