From what I understand, none of them are using any of the copyrighted materials, samples, or loops to make the music and lyrics. They were "taught" or "learned" on the songs that are copyrighted. I guess much in the same way a student of music might study the Beatles or the Stones and then use what they learned to write their own original music and lyrics. Chord progressions and structure are not copyrightable.

The way I see it would be if I or any other writer would dare to listen to a song on the radio, study it, and then use what I learned to write my own song...could I get sued for that? Apparently so according to the premise of this law suit. We all need to watch out if that is the case.

While messing around with the free version of one of the AI song creators, just for grins I asked it to compose a song in the "style" of AC/DC just to see what it would provide..... and it came back with a message that using the name of a band was not allowed.
