An interesting thing came up regarding copyright.
I mentioned to Bhengen that I had once added music to "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address." It had been years since I even thought of that. When it came back into my mind, I started thinking, "Why not run that old thing through A.I.?"
It's easy (supposedly) and nothing can go wrong. Right? Wrong. It will take the music, but it gives me a note that says "your lyric contains copyrighted material". "Choose another lyric."
WHAAATTT???? Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is not in the public domain??? Or does Suno just reject all overly familiar patterns? Surely that can't still be something you have to get permission to use. . . can it?
Is the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence still able to be copyrighted? Strange. Does anyone know?

that does sound weird. i have had songs that were public domain like Christmas songs that i was doing covers of, but because they have been recently released buy popular artist it wound't take it..you can try to spell the words wrong and that works if you can change it enough. = fore skore and 7 years uh-go.

Sidshovel: Thank you for that. It was interesting.
MuskieBait. . . What I'll probably do (assuming I don't just lose interest) is write new lyrics, sing them to the music I wrote, upload it. Get the new (almost always much better) musical interpretation, then separate the lyrics, and sing back the actual words from the address. Lot of work for no reason. It just is not possible that after 170 years (almost) a set of words is still copyrighted. It's absolutely in the public domain.

Whoever you're stealing from , and don't take it the wrong way . Bots pick up everything , if its copywrited material and you're making money , lawyers will be knocking . How this effected me , Youtube gives the Adsense money to whoever holds the copy write . You can object . These people want everything

I'll refrain from being offended by the accusation that I'm somehow "stealing" by using a speech that cannot possibly NOT be in the public domain. I'm guessing you didn't notice that the link confirmed that it is in fact in the public domain and has been since it was given.

It's 'only a joke' if it isn't defamatory, false, and not funny. If you have to claim too many insults were "only jokes" you might be joking too much. "Thief" (or even "half thief") is a particularly ugly insult that is only a joke inside a group of close friends who know it's a joke. You throw it around like it's normal. It isn't normal, and it isn't a joke.

You're allowed your opinion on the matter Elvis, but when that starts applying to other people I'm sure you can see how that becomes abrasive. Saying it's a joke doesn't really take the sting out of it. I'd appreciate it if you would take care when using the phrase. Respect for other members is a requirement of the site.
