I've done a fair amount of experimenting with Suno. One thing is that if you hammer away at a specific song, changing its style until you get exactly what you want, you can focus in on a particular singing or guitar style that is so consistent that it probably is a significant chunk of someone else's music. It is very easy to imitate the Beatles. And once you get a good melody going, you can keep generating versions of a song, you can make it sound pretty realistic. I've successfully made "covers" of songs I've generated, so while a lot of the technology may be randomized, it is very easy to get a melody to stick through regeneration. It's easy to see what RIAA is reacting to here. It might be hard to prove, although they say the similarities are impossible otherwise. So even if they didn't steal the underlying music, the question is how closely can they emulate something before it is an outright infringement? I get that if you put in plagiarized lyrics, then the human is at fault for the infringement. This proves intent, which puts the blame absolutely on the human. I would classify their "Go Johnny Go Go Go" example as that. It's obviously going to sound similar if you choose similar lyrics (Run Forrest, Run run run!) on that era of music, even if the software didn't plagiarize any of it. Certain styles lean that way. Consider punk and rockabilly, which often have absolutely interchangeable lyrics and sounds. If you write any original surf style lyric of your own, then go for a surf style music, it takes very little effort to hone in on an unmistakable Beach Boys sound. That'll happen even if you're not trying. I'm a musician, and I see parts on either side of the argument. Legal clarification is needed, because this is just going to get more and more common. This is going to be a very interesting case. I think it'll be a long one, because both sides have something to gain and something to lose.
