It’s not that hard.
Fuck the RIAA: The artists should hold the rights to their music, not the publishers.
Fuck AI: The rights-holders (which ought to be the artists) should be able to distribute their work without fear that a bot will be allowed to use it to compete against them.
I just don’t see a healthy creative culture where you don’t push both buttons.
Both.
Both is good.
To be clear, all of the big media groups and all of the big AI companies are in favor of expanding copyright law to give themselves more power. If one of them wins or loses on an issue like this, it doesn’t improve our life in any way.
Everyone has their own opinion, but I think the problem with AI is not that people are developing fancy Turing test machines, but rather that the whole industry is full of cynical speculation where people are getting rich knowing that they can’t deliver what they’ve promised, at great expense to everyone else in society.
hmmn, churn out a billion random chord progressions and copyright them all you say ?
cool, that actually looks like a good idea. Interesting for sync uses too , say, in film as i think so long as you re-performed the melody (not the “song”) you’d be royalty free. I do think it’d be funny to hear the Joni Mitchell paved paradise melody in a car commercial - but that’s still creative freedom. Interesting stuff.
Let them fight, then move in to take out the winner.
The real winners are the legal teams that reap those billions of dollars in fees.
