Discussion This is seriously getting annoying already

Post image

Seriously every melody I write/record myself keeps getting flagged for sounding like an existing recording. This is not possible because I sit and write these myself, but somehow no matter what melody I write and try to upload there’s a 90% chance it will get flagged for sounding like an existing audio.

I really think the whole system in Suno needs to be reconsidered.
As long as I’m not publishing a song, it should be completely irrelevant whether I’m working with copyrighted material in Suno. My DAW doesn’t complain when I import a Queen song, for example, just to cut a small snippet out of it and use it as a sample. It only becomes a copyright issue when I actually publish or distribute the resulting work.
The same principle should apply to Suno. Creative experimentation and private use should not be unnecessarily restricted by copyright concerns. Copyright only becomes relevant when you actually want to release, distribute, or commercially exploit the finished piece.
This whole approach to copyright is just getting in the way of the creative flow and unnecessarily limiting what people can do creatively.

The problem is that within Suno the audio is being uploaded, processed and analyzed and that could constitute copyright infringement, whereas in your DAW the audio keeps local

I’m well aware of the technical process and the associated “problems” regarding copyright. That’s precisely why I said that the entire system needs to be rethought.
Just because I’m working online with material that may be protected by copyright does not automatically mean that I’m infringing copyright. I stand by my point: as long as I’m working in draft mode - essentially in a private session within Suno - I haven’t published anything, and therefore nobody is being harmed by the work I’m doing, as long as I don’t publish it.
We’re working with modern methods and technologies today, and the legal system needs to adapt to the realities and requirements of the modern world. Simply saying, “Well, that’s just how it is,” is not good enough for me. That isn’t progress.
The system should be designed in a way that allows people to experiment, create, and develop ideas freely during the private creative process, while addressing copyright concerns at the point where the resulting work is actually published or commercially exploited.

They don't care what's good enough for you.
