But its already doing that to professionals, and not compensating them.

Its a very real thing.

Not long ago you were arguing the reverse.
Your self-centered reason for doing so (at that time) was the assertion that whether machines or humans, lifting ideas has been going on forever so there is no foul when a machine does it.

So the machines that were now turning your shoe-box-scribblings into songs were completely legitimate to use, and no theft was involved.

Now, all of a sudden, its uncompensated theft.

Dom, your inconsistency and hypocrisy is getting boring.

Search "fair use."
From what little that I know, if I was on a jury, my vote would come down to whether this was "fair use"...or not.

From a very limited vantage...I lean towards Suno being fair use.

Theft of intellectual property with no compensation has been going on for years in the music industry. Like the saying goes..."Nobody whistles in Nashville."

One glaring example is TIME by Rita Coolidge and LAYLA. Theft and intimidation.
And there are thousands whose voices were never heard.
