In the free tier, Suno owns all of the Output. I'm wondering when someone will make a song, realize it's pretty good, and attempt to recreate it after creating a paid tier account.

Subject to your compliance with the terms of this Agreement, if you are a user who has subscribed to the paid tier of the Service, Suno hereby assigns to you all of its right, title and interest in and to any Output owned by Suno and generated from Submissions made by you through the Service during the term of your paid-tier subscription. If you are a user of the free tier of the Service then, as between you and Suno, Suno owns all Output generated from Submissions made by you through the Service, and, subject to your compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Suno grants you a license to use such Output solely for your lawful, internal, and non-commercial purposes, provided that you give attribution credit to Suno in each case.

Well the output isn't created by a human, so this concept of a license is invalid. You can't copyright something generated by AI.
Has this been tested in the courts?
Yes, famously the monkey selfie case.
Wow, we're all used to data grabs and IP issues. But that seems to play out a little differently in the music world.

Ideas in tech are cheap, it's usually the implementation that matters. With something like lyrics, that doesn't seem to be the case.
