quick_read: On or before 2026-08-05, a German court ruled that AI music company Suno infringed copyright by using works represented by GEMA without permission and by downloading songs through stream-ripping.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0659 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
