Could Suno claim ownership of my original lyrics if I generated songs before officially copyrighting them?
I have a question regarding original lyrics and copyright, and I'd love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has looked deep into how this works in practice. I write my own original lyrics and recently used them to generate several songs on Suno. Here is the catch: I only officially registered the copyright for these lyrics after I had already generated the songs on the platform. This means that, technically, the earliest official "timestamp" of these lyrics existing is on Suno's servers, prior to my official copyright registration date. My concern is: Could Suno, in a hypothetical bad-faith scenario, use this timestamp discrepancy to claim that the lyrics were generated by their AI, or claim some sort of ownership over them? I know their ToS states that we own our inputs, but I'm wondering if this timeline creates a loophole. The "prior art" is technically on their database first. Has anyone else been in this situation, or does anyone with a better understanding of their ToS and copyright law know how protected we actually are in this specific scenario? Thanks in advance!
