Q: If I write my own lyrics and generate music free Suno AI,can I,usethe resulting song in YouTube videos without copyright
If I write my own lyrics and use Suno AI to generate music, can I use the resulting song in YouTube videos without copyright issues? The lyrics are mine, but I want to ensure there are no problems with the music from Suno. If there are potential copyright concerns, what steps should I take to resolve them?
A: Like everything else “It Depends.” If the lyrics are 100% yours then you are good to go with that. If the AI generates original music for your lyrics, you are fine too. However, if the AI scraped previous copyright protected recordings like “X” and/or if you asked the AI, for instance to “make me a song that sounds like “X” and “X” is a copyright protected song, you could open yourself up to being sued by the owner of the “X” copyright. In addition, if AI generates original music 100% on its own, you may not be able to copyright it. This is all a very new and still gray area of the law.
A: In addition to what Mr. Parron contributed, I would recommend reading the Terms and Conditions of Suno AI to determine what you can and cannot do with the resulting product. You need to learn as much as you can about the AI and how it was built so that you can determine if the output might infringe someone's intellectual property rights. If the AI is vague about whether it paid a license for the data it used to "learn," or if it scraped the internet for data without compensating copyright owners, then I would recommend being cautious about publishing (i.e., posting on social media) any output.
A:
If you create your own lyrics and use Suno AI to generate the music, you might be able to use the resulting song in your YouTube videos without facing copyright issues. However, it's important to review Suno AI's terms of service or licensing agreements to ensure that the music you generate is cleared for use in your projects. Some platforms have specific guidelines about how their generated content can be used, especially for commercial purposes like YouTube monetization.
To avoid potential problems, start by thoroughly reading Suno AI’s licensing terms. Look for any restrictions or requirements related to using the generated music in public or commercial settings. If the information isn’t clear, consider reaching out directly to Suno AI’s support team for clarification. This will help you understand any necessary steps you might need to take, such as attributing the source or obtaining additional permissions.
Additionally, keep records of your creations and any communications with Suno AI regarding usage rights. This documentation can be valuable if any copyright questions arise in the future. By taking these precautions, you can confidently use your original lyrics combined with AI-generated music in your YouTube videos while minimizing the risk of copyright issues.
