In addition to here, Friday night I was talking to a songwriter in the town where I now live...and SUNO came up. He originally swore that he would never use it because he wanted no possible compromise in the ownership of his songs.
But then, someone persuaded him to try it, and like all of us, he heard how it could transform very mediocre personal recordings into great sounding productions, and now he is another SUNO-addict.
Yet, there is still a lot of fog around his and my undertanding regarding what SUNO owns at the moment that they process a song into a production.
This link leads to a young woman "influencer" atty who is the best free source of info that I could find.
One of her repetitive themes SEEMS to be it-aint-over-till-its-over.
After one more b&f, I'm not going to chase this further down a rabbit hole. This site is much improved regarding distractions and derailments, over the last few days.
I think that this young atty provides a clear insight at no cost to me.
QUESTION:
If you decide to view one or more of the attys videos on YouTube...excepting the cost of your internet hook-up...how is that not for free?

Loo, if i had posted the same thing, you would be refuting the same way. Its only valid cause yiu found it and like it
Its free to see the video, but its promotional. Nothing specific pertains to you. You'd be paying for specific info.
Besides, its ever changing. She just knows its a hot topic.

That's leaving some stuff out.
Kay-Lynn put up a song. I criticized its validity and gave reasons. She put up the responses of an actual publisher. I believe the account that she posted. The publisher's reaction was in sharp contrast to mine. In this context, I value the publisher's opinion far above my own.
My next thing to do.... 1) review the publishers remarks 2) look at the song again, attempting to see it through the publisher's eyes 3) In doing so, try to gain some insight.
Do I consider any publisher to be the infallible last word? No, but undoubtedly massively more informed than me.
The takeaway... I don't truly know anything actual and detailed about promoting songs and what works and what doesn't in that world. If I'm confronted with something from a much more credible source than me, and I choose to continue to argue with it...then I am just another random fool.
And yes, if you put up legalistic opinions about the music business, I would discount them as uninformed and not to be relied upon.
The young atty, if nothing else, can knowledgeably open the subject of copyrights, etc.
