I checked it out. I've contacted my Music Attorney about this at "Delgado Entertainment". They have told me that once you re-create the music you have changed the structure and instruments of the song. So, therefore you can copyright it as your own.
IANAL, but I'll give my two cents anyway.
Yes, you have the copyright to that particular
performance, assuming the original music wasn't encumbered by copyright.
Keep in mind, no one can copyright a particular
chord progression. So if someone were to copy the chord progression of your song using their own instruments, they would have the copyright to that performance of the song.
Since I am a paid member of Suno I have the right to do anything I want with the song, so therefor I can change it, and once it is changed it is an original copyrighted work.
You don't have to be a paid member of Suno. After all, the music that is generated by Suno isn't copyrighted - even by the owners of Suno.
That said, the term "original copyrighted work" has a specific legal meaning. An "original work" is
independently created by a human author. Independent creation means created
yourself, without copying.
If all you've done is copied much of what a computer created, and only made minor changes, it's unlikely to legally be considered an "original work".
What you
do own the is the copyright to the
recording that you made. But the source material was copyright free, you
don't own the copyright to the melody the Suno created. And if Suno created lyrics, you don't own a copyright to those, either.
As, I copyright all of my song's, just to be on the safe side. I sing all of them myself. The thing is is you can not copyright AI generated music.
To be clear, it's not just AI
recording that can't be copyrighted. You also can't claim copyright to the melody or words, if they aren't your original words.
When AI generates the melody or lyrics, they cannot be copyrighted because they are created by a machine, and machines can't engage in contracts. That doesn't mean that the copyright automatically goes to you as a subscriber to Suno. Since no one holds the copyright, the melody and lyrics are in the public domain.
Similarly, if you made minor changes to something an AI created and claimed the result as your own original work, it would also not be the case. Making minor edits to a poem, for example, doesn't make you the author of the poem.
But it's virtually impossible for anyone to
prove that an AI wrote the lyrics or melody, so you're likely to get away it.
After it has been changed with different instruments and other elements have been added to it, it makes it an original
Again, this makes it an original
performance of the work, and you can own the copyright of an original performance, even if the work itself is in the public domain. And you own any original ideas that you've added to the material.
