This is really to protect from bot armies. To register as a paid member, they can at least verify the credit card and name attached. It allows them some options to battle 10K bots signing up and using the service to get free songs. You read it from a different vantage point, but that s the real situation. There won't be lawsuits as regular people can't afford to sue these companies and these companies can't afford to sue for infringement. What your concern is, I think is simply not what you think. If they used content to train, in most cases they worked out backroom deals with corporations to do so. This is why they are still operating. Meanwhile, they train their tech to NOT infringe on words or melodies. Try to upload and process any copyright protected song and YOU will be held legally liable for infringement because no company can monitor all copyright protected works in the world, especially since we get that right without making it public. But if YOU steal someone else's song and try to steal their lyric or melody, YOU will get sued if any legal action takes place from your actions, and Suno will not be involved any more than a guitar manufacturer would get sued if you used a Gibson guitar to steal a song. This is just a production tool If it isn't replicating someone's melody or lyric, where is this mythical "stolen" song? If they are guilty of anything, it is production "sounds" they might be reusing, but everyone else is ALSO reusing those same techniques on every commercial song over the history of recorded music. That "sound" is not something you can protect. The settings for reverb or delay or "fill in the blank" isn't something that can be protected, thus no infringement or theft exists. If we are going to open up laws preventing reverb settings, every famous song will be sued to oblivion because ALL of music has built on the same or new techniques that keep building over time. Please show me examples of this theft? There are so many examples of super famous songs using other people's melodies without any intention of having done so. 12 notes eventually have been done in every conceivable order and tempo countless times. Only the cost of lawsuits prevents non stop abuse of lawsuits. We still get crazy claims constantly. Imagine two songs use an echo on some often used word or phrase, are we going to open those flood gates? The word "love" has been used in every conceivable way, do we want that pandora's box opened?

Styles or genres are not protectable. EVERYONE is using familiar styles to inform their work. It just isn't theft. If it is, then no new music can ever be made.
