Suno & intellectual copyright question
Ok so here's a new one for me.
Client calls & says they've 'written' a song with Suno, could I recreate it from scratch & hire a session vocalist to sing it.
They are thinking this way, they can avoid the 'made with A.I' tag on the music.
I pushed a little further on what they meant by 'written', & they basically fed in their lyrics & suno spat out some generic pop bollocks. Apparently he had to 'prompt quite a few time to get it right', poor lamb.
So the way I see it, is that by re-recording the A.I generated version, he would be swerving mechanical copyright, as he would own the recording once he's paid me.
Surely the song itself is a co-write with him & Suno though, as the a.i 'wrote' the top-line, chords, arrangement etc?
Anyone have experience on how this works in practicality? &/or the fine print of the Suno terms of service?
Even if it was re-recorded, would 'the algorithm' pick up on the fact that this is a 'cover' of something 'owed by Suno', when he uploads to the usual platforms?
Obviously I think the whole project is a horrible idea that is bereft of artistry, but as a working producer of over 35 years, I need to put food on the table, so have to put my feelings aside.
EDIT:Lots of opinions, thank you, but I'm looking for someone who has either tried this before, or understand the copyright law re:suno
