Yes, if you sign and they sign the work for hire agreement.

But AI is using bits of previously published and released commercial recordings, and selling that to us...the price WILL go up too.

So when you use your AI generated song as a pitch, some or all of it may be stolen or lifted from other songs.

Could happen with a demo studio too, but could be deemed unintenional

Suno ABSOLUTELY uses obvious hit songs. I have a special file where I am collecting OBVIOUS rips offs and some are just egregious. He is what WILL happen: Someone uses these sites to write music to their lyrics. A track that sounds great is paired. So far so good. You post it on Spotify and miraculously it becomes a hit. It's not an artist who will sue you, it is the many thousands of OTHER A.I. lyricists who will sue each other because they have the exact same melody and production but different lyrics. It WILL happen because in the roughly 10K songs I have made so far, I have 5 examples where it used the exact same production and variation of a melody on 2 or more of my own songs! In fact, it ripped off my original melody from one of my songs to another of my own songs. Additionally, I have a few more examples where a weel known hit song has randomly been applied to one of my original songs, instead of any variation of the song I uploaded! One is a complete rip off of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams! It is shocking! I believe Suno watches out for lyric infringement but it is obviously churning out stolen music. I have proof. AND it is reusing melodies and production. This is why you MUST always upload and maintain your own melody with your own lyrics or, in the end, you have nothing. I often finish a track, then when the month is nearly over, I burn my unused credits on random versions just to see what it does and with high frequency that is when I am getting these problem tracks. If I have found 11 problems on my 1 account, that spells doom for anyone who isn't using a unique melody and lyrics. I wrote 90% of these songs 30+ years ago with the live video, audio an dates to prove it. That is the ONLY way anyone should consider commercial use of anything off these sites.
