    This is the part where I don't really understand the purpose of this. You create something, and then upload it to the AI to lose copyright protection on it; meanwhile feeding the AI your original material. What is there to even gain by doing this? We have plugins which will generate notes and chords, harmonies, melodies, or anything else you might want to use instead. They will get you past some kind of writers block situation too; just with some more work. Even if you do get some musical parts from AI, why wouldn't you just deconstruct them to make them into original material again, like you would with Midi files or Samples?

    If you have a premium subscription, yes, you still hold the rights. However, suno holds the right to train on your music the second you upload, as well as whatever is generated.

    This is not accurate. Your Suno subscription status cannot change copyright laws. The Company (Suno) grant you specific terms of usage based on your subscription type and their Terms of Service. That's all they can do. If something is output from AI, those portions of the work are not protected. If they are created by you, then they may be protected. If your track is 100% output from Suno, or other AI; it cannot be granted Copyright at all. Not even by The Company (Suno) which owns the AI service you used.

    They can use anything you submit to it and anything generated by that submission to train, as you stated in your post.

    Using Suno's Terms of Service as a source of information about music copyrights is like taking a forensic accounting course taught by Bernie Madoff.

    you would hold the rights as the original creator of the "acoustic guitar and vocals" track, and while i have not done a deep dive on the copyright law, i believe you can copyright it as long as you contributed to it / change it, i forget what the exact terminology they used is. Generating a song from simply prompting Suno is not copyrightable, thats for sure.

    The invention of the internet, also known as the world wide web, was already a groundbreaking invention, but people didn't know how to deal with it in the beginning.

    Gradually, legislators passed laws and, while some were regulated, some remain in a gray area, and some things, like AI, are only partially regulated by law. Added to this are enormous amounts of data and regulations that hardly anyone can read or understand. The criminal energy associated with fraud and theft by some of our fellow human beings is also unbearable.

    Convicting and prosecuting perpetrators is a huge task for the justice system, as the perpetrators are based abroad and conceal their identities. A great deal of time and intelligence must be invested to protect and secure one's own music, one's own presets, sound sets, etc.

    Even this small contribution is scanned by the AI and incorporated into the responses.
    Everything digital is somehow utilized and evaluated. Legally, this can be summarized in one sentence:

    Protecting Music – Brief and Concise

    Musical works characterized by the necessary degree of individuality and creativity are automatically subject to copyright protection upon creation. Therefore, registration is not necessary to protect music. Copyright law also allows for legal action against infringements.
