Licensing menu

Recordings you actually own.

Under Suno's March 26, 2026 Terms of Service, ownership of paid-tier Output is assigned to the subscriber — not licensed. SCR is a Premier subscriber, so the recordings on this menu come to you with the strongest chain-of-title available in the AI-music market today. Five tiers, scope-bound, with a brand-legal-ready exhibit pack on every contract.

The five tiers

Order on this page leads with the recordings you actually own. The Form License sits in the middle because it's the cleanest tier on the menu — no upstream provider claim required.

Scope-bound, non-exclusive, brand-legal-ready chain-of-title pack included.

Frequently asked

What does "Recordings you actually own" mean?

Suno's Terms of Service revised 2026-03-26 ASSIGN ownership of paid-tier Output to the subscriber — it is not a license. SCR, as a Premier subscriber, becomes the owner of every recording it generates during the subscription term, and that ownership survives subscription cancellation. That's materially stronger than the pre-2026 industry norm and it's why our Performance License and Full Song License lead the menu.

How is AI disclosure handled?

Every released SCR track ships with DDEX AI Disclosure Standard fields and a C2PA-signed manifest via Adobe Content Credentials — never self-signed. The disclosure flows downstream to platforms automatically. Your contract includes an "AI-assisted production" disclosure clause and a credit-bar template you can use in your liner notes.

What are the two doctrines I see referenced in the contracts?

The two doctrines are (a) the copyright threshold under USCO January 2025 guidance — does the track contain enough meaningful human authorship to be copyrightable? — and (b) the platform-disclosure threshold — does the platform you're publishing to require AI-disclosure metadata? These two gates are INDEPENDENT. A track can clear (a) with chain-of-title strength but still need (b)'s disclosure, or vice versa. We assess both before quoting and we price accordingly.

What happens if a brand legal team raises a cease-and-desist concern?

We supply the brand-legal-ready chain-of-title pack as exhibits to every Performance / Full Song / Commission license: AUTHORLOG, Suno ownership-assignment cite, USCO Jan 2025 human-authorship work documentation. Our contract carries a liability cap at the license fee. For Character tier deals, we verify the per-character clearance log row before signing — PENDING characters don't go to contract.

How does the rename-resolution workflow work?

When a real person, place, or third-party brand could ambiguously appear in a track or character bible, we resolve via rename rather than cease-and-desist hardening. Two canonical examples (both 2026-05-31): the track "Equalizer" was renamed to "Restorative" — clearance log Row 63 — and the character "Simona Kossak" became "Soraya in Białowieża" on Luna & the River — clearance log Row 68. Both flipped to CLEARED-AFTER-RENAME and ship today. We document the audit trail so brand-legal teams see how we handle these.

What's the pricing principle?

Accessible but not cheap. Mid-band over floor; two-tier where hero value differentiates; never gatekeeping; bundle discounts cap at 30floor is $499$12/mo. Every band on this page is a starting point — we scope per project.

Can I license a track that's marked "clearance pending"?

Not until clearance lands. We surface the blocker in the embedded menu so you can see exactly what we're waiting on (typically: a partnership-papering with a real-world counterpart). If the resolution path is a rename — like Restorative — the unblock is usually weeks, not months. Custom Commission is always open as an alternative path.

Have a specific use case in mind?

Brief us. Custom Commission entry starts at $499; every other tier scopes per project. We reply within two working days.
