How did The Verge bypass Suno’s copyright detection?

By slowing a copyrighted track to half-speed or speeding it to double tempo in Audacity before uploading to Suno Studio. Adding white noise to the start and end of the file made bypassing the filter nearly consistent.

Can Suno-generated music from copyrighted seeds be uploaded to Spotify?

According to The Verge’s investigation, yes. Once the manipulated upload passes Suno’s filter and generates a new track, that output can be distributed to streaming services.

Does this affect Suno’s ongoing lawsuits?

Suno settled with Warner Music Group but remains in litigation with Universal and Sony. The Verge’s findings document a specific technical weakness in Suno’s stated compliance measures, which label attorneys are likely to reference.

Is the audio upload feature part of Suno’s paid plans?

The audio upload and editing feature in Suno Studio is available to paid subscribers. The Voices feature, which captures a singing voice for AI generation, is Pro and Premier only.
