As an attorney who has worked extensively in music copyright, the AI people do not understand the logical conclusion of their business model. If there is no *individual* to be the copyright holder, there can be no copyright -- which means all AI-generated "content" becomes unprotectable.

That is the current state of the law. The services want to see you the access. Spotify model. On demand whatever, but no pesky artists to pay. The law is a moving target. See also: sampling.

It is /so weird/ to me to see companies like Disney going all-in on generative AI. Do they not get that the endgame here is obliterating the value of their own IP?

Their current projection is that generative art will be so personalized to the consumer that there will be no purpose in copyrighting it. They’re going to charge customers for running their prompts and making art for them, and there will be no business or demand for copies of any particular song.

They don't seem to think too deeply about the consequences of a lot of stuff. Their response to all the obvious plagarism is basically a shrugging "we're just a smol bean experimenting with new things so you can't hold us responsible."

But with the Citizens United ruling corporations are people. And if the AI is owned by a corporation…That ruling gets worse by the day.
