I edit the lyric to my liking. I edit the music to my performance abilities and liking.

I register the lyric with ascap and list suno with a 65% share of royalty. I take 35% because I’m commercializing the song….getting it out there.

I perform the song at licensed venues with good audience reception.

For argument sake, let’s say the song is exactly like one you wrote, and you inform me of that.

I say whoops….and hand over my 35% share to you,and you let suno know, and they hand over their 65%……

I doubt that's how it's going to work out in the real World Bill. What would stop someone from registering a song with no publisher. Here's how I register a work before I acquire a publisher:

Composer
SCHICK, JOHN LAWRENCE
000000000/ASCAP
Interest Party Status
Identified Authoritative
Own %
50
Collect %
50
Original Publisher
PUBLISHER UNKNOWN
Interest Party Status
Unidentified Non-Authoritative
Own %
50
Collect %
50

Notice, this could very well be a fully AI‑generated work. Or let's say a fully AI‑generated track from someone is used on Greys Anatomy. It's registered with ASCAP in my example. Or some publisher that accepts AI tracks.

In my opinion, ASCAP, BMI, and SOCAN shouldn't have even mention this "partially AI generated" baloney. It just encourages more fraud.

Stop analyzing; just compose the damn thing!
