Suno Introduces Measures to Tackle Legal and Ethical Issues Amid AI Music Controversy

View original source

Suno, a platform facilitating AI-generated music creation, announced new tools and policies aimed at addressing legal challenges and ethical concerns. Major changes include:

  • Implementation of audio watermarking and fingerprinting to prevent unauthorized distribution on other platforms.
  • Partnership with Musixmatch to use its Sentinel system for copyright detection, aiming for transparency without judging artistic quality.
  • Modification of community guidelines to stop misleading audio and unauthorized use of likeness or voice.

These updates come as Suno faces legal scrutiny, including a lawsuit from major labels like Universal Music Group and Sony Music Group organized by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). German courts recently ruled against Suno for copyright violations.

Additionally, a massive data breach in November 2025 has led to a class action lawsuit, exposing Suno for scraping content from YouTube, Deezer, and Genius. 55 million users were reportedly affected by the breach.

Despite these challenges, Suno secured $400 million in a Series D funding round in June, indicating continued investor confidence.
