CEO Mikey Shulman announced audio watermarking and fingerprinting plus a download policy limiting mass distribution to streaming platforms, targeting schemes where users generate thousands of tracks, upload them to DSPs and bot the plays for fraudulent royalties. Suno also signed with Musixmatch for its Sentinel copyright-detection system. It declined to say whether it'll use an existing scheme like SynthID or build its own, and withheld the download policy's details. Context: 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.
