Freesound Forums

As of the June 30, 2024 revision of Suno's terms of service, you cannot upload music generated under free or Basic Suno plans to Freesound.

If you are a user of the free or Basic tier of the Service then, you covenant and agree that you will only use Outputs generated from Submissions made by you through the Service solely for your lawful, internal, personal and non-commercial purposes, provided that you give attribution credit to Suno in each case.

"internal, personal" excludes public sharing.

How on earth is Freesound, or any other organisation going to police this rule?

Even if the original output is watermarked virtually inaudible processing. re-encoding, compression, meta data editing, can easily smear/obliterate this.

Do Suno maintain a log of everything they ever generated and run a continuous live reverse-search of the entire internet?(rhetorical question. Answers not required.)

Guess the system is 100% dependent on trust that no one will cheat to boost their ego.
I mean. whoever heard of sombody lying on the internet to make themselves seem more impressive.

Details about whether they log everything they’ve ever generated or scan the entire internet continuously aren’t usually shared publicly, companies typically have internal systems for quality control, moderation, and preventing misuse (like copyright infringement or impersonation), but live reverse-search across all internet content would be both technically intense and ethically murky.

That's what I'd figured. impractical, hence "rhetorical question".

Unless somethiing's going viral and there are financial/public image implications most companies don't seem to chase copyright infringement. Too resource intensive.
But since Freesound is a small organisation that takes these things very seriously(kudos) the copyright implications are perhaps more complicated. Reputation is key.
