It seems as though Suno has caved into to the copyshite bullies.

Copyright in music is and will always be a fraud, period. We've got 12 notes to work with, of course original pieces are going to at least vaguely resemble something that someone else has made.

Shame.

Both my pieces were made without any particular reference to any other compositions, but I guess the lack of diverse instrumentation (i.e. them being just piano exported from MuseScore) was enough to set off the alarms. This is the first time it's happened, and it happened twice in a row.

Why doesn't Suno adopt a more sophisticated filter (like YouTube's) that only dings bona fide copies and is altogether less likely to flag something incorrectly?

It was English creative writing, and I had to describe a place. I said it had "grey and green washes, in a wispy white veil", which is a straight quote from "The Camera Eye" by Rush.

This was both due to lack of inspiration in the moment, as well as a hopeful guess that maybe the examiner was a big Rush fan and would perceive me as a friend he has never met.

I'm not guilty about this as it was twenty years ago, I did not pursue English literature as a career and frankly it was not that great of a sin. Still I thought I should confess.
