Suno will watermark songs and bar mass distribution as GEMA ruling and RIAA suits close in
Suno announced on August 6 that it will add watermarking and a download policy limiting mass distribution to streaming platforms, plus a Musixmatch "Sentinel" integration for copyright detection — but declined to say whether it will use an existing scheme like Google's SynthID or build its own, and withheld the download policy's details. The announcement arrives mid-litigation: RIAA-coordinated suits from Universal and Sony, a July 2026 GEMA ruling against Suno in Germany, and a Massachusetts class action over a November 2025 breach affecting 55 million users. Confirmed by both TechCrunch and The Verge.
