Is anyone going to do anything? Ever? What's it going to take? You can't put out a song with an uncleared sample without putting yourself in legal jeopardy; meanwhile these people are openly stealing all of human creation and bragging about it! www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/t...

"One lawyer warned of “ethical” concerns around taking intellectual property from artists but was met with silence, according to the recordings." That says everything you need to know about the people involved.

These people don't care about consequences because they've never faced any. I keep thinking about the moment in The Social Network where Zuck had to pay off the Winks, and it was framed as "a speeding ticket."

#Copyright owners should do what software companies constantly do and change their usage terms of service to say that each and every access of their copyright material by #AI counts as a purchase requiring payment of a fee. Put this on the #Web site and it becomes part of the #licensing agreement.

Ironically when I submit songs for distribution an AI checks them for commercial samples I purchased (loops or DJs, drum samples, small vocal clips from commercial sample packs) and I have to show proof of payment and the terms of the license. For a 2 second "Hey yeah!" i use on a dance track.
