As far as an official copyright. It's not needed until a lawsuit occurs. At that time a US Copyright is needed just to get into court. A writer can get a copyright any time prior to the court appearance. Of course, in court the copyright is useless. The writer still has to prove his work was stolen. A monumental task!

On a side note... ASCAP is now accepting "partially" AI generated music. Exactly how ASCAP is going to determine to which degree the song is AI generated is a big mystery. I imagine the same way the US Copyright Office makes the determination - from what the writer tells them. Not to worry, all writers are honest people.

Yeah, its foggy either way.

All songs ai or not are borrowed from others, otherwise every song would so so completely different than anything else.

So my take is, even if copyrighting the traditional, way, what real proof do you have that this melody belongs to you.

You'd have to analyze every song ever written to see if it was your original idea. And chances are its been done already, and multiple times

That said, I believe the issue is in the disclosing.

You're right many will never admit they got a Melody from Ai,.

If a song becomes a hit, you coukd imagine suno will be using Ai detectors to see if somebody used Ai for that song

Its easy to tell its ai, if using the actual track generated.

Much harder id imagine, if it's te recorded and using own singing voice..

I guess the main problem as you say is the honestly.

If your fans find out later you took everything from Ai.,

I'd say career over.

Gotta be honest in the process
