Beatport getting closer flagging and/or banning AI-generated music

Lots of great positive momentum in the music industry.

Nearly two weeks after Suno loses a copyright infringement case, Suno announced that it would fingerprint AI-generated music.

On August 12, 2026, Beatport announces that it is expanding the partnership with beatdapp to detect & flag AI music, citing the below survey results.

For those who want a condensed version.

Spotify will take away ai generated music from the algoritm. Also will mark ai generated music, both on the artist page and on the song. This is a good move!! Should have been done more then a year ago!! Joe Rogan started to promote Ai music on his show, 50 cent covers for example, this is when it should have been done.

Then again, Hugel has a UK number1 hit with a AI generated song. I don’t think it’s something we can stop.
