I'm not entirely sure how to phrase my question properly, so I'm not sure if I make sense. I'm not that familiar with the Commodore 64, so I figured I'd ask here. Maybe my reasoning below could further explain what I mean.
I have an idea for a video and want to use the C64 SAM voice module (I like how it sounds), but I'm not sure if there's some kind of copyright protection associated with it or if it's a public domain/CC0 thing.

Good question, but it might fair better in a legal forum. I have doubts that the IP owners of SAM are suing people for using their text to speech product in videos, but that doesnt answer the question of do they have a legitimate case if they were to.
