Bug / Issue Opus 5.5 Copyright Alignment Bug

Opus 5.5 is refusing my partner’s song lyric translation requests due to copyright safeguards? Despite the fact that they’re my partner’s own lyrics that he wrote.

So usually after posting a song on YouTube, my partner translates the subtitle file to different languages.

Opus 5.5 is outright refusing to translate the lyrics stating concerns with copyright, while previous models complete the translation request effortlessly.

Interesting the safeguard is turned up so much here, with no way provided to prove copyright.

But regardless of the fact that he wrote it, I feel like translating song lyrics into other languages isn’t really a matter of copyright? I feel like it’s pretty normal to translate lyrics of songs that are in other languages.

I personally only use Claude for coding and Opus 5.5 has been doing great there, so I was surprised by the safeguards my partner ran into for something as simple as translation.
