Eww.
AI is so fucked that it's got me rooting for the RIAA.
I feel dirty.
This isn't about stopping AI music, it's about controlling it. The big copyright cartels like the RIAA would love to continue controlling it and now people are cheering them on.
Tbh from the outside looking in, it kinda looks like two rich people fighting over the ownership of a trash can.
Whoever wins it deserves it.
Even so, it’s important that big money companies get involved to help set precedents that theft cannot be ok just because it’s done on an incomprehensible large scale. As an author, I can’t afford to sue these monsters, but if we can make the OTHER monsters fight them…well, it’s better than nothing.
Might be the one good thing to ever come from the music industrial complex
You think the RIAA is here to help?
They will sell the rights to a company that will do the same thing the current AI-music companies do, just worse and more expensive.
And since the new company has to train a new model, it's even worse for the environment.
Congratulations.
Such a stupid take. Prepare for them to start suing over piracy again.
I'm not rooting for RIAA even when AI is fucked - I hate both sides of this conflict
