Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms
Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms
Suno and Udio could face damages of up to $150,000 per song allegedly infringed.
My opinion will never change on this, I don't care if they're suing satan himself.
Fuck the RIAA.
84"If the RIAA sued hell, I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."
26Yeah, there are only stealing assholes involved here.
8Agreed! The best bet here is for both sides to kill each other or sue them both into oblivion.

Good cuz ai doesn't copy anything.

Fuck the music industry, but fuck AI made music even more. The goddamn robot is supposed to take my factory job and leave me with the time to write songs not the other way around
62How do you feel about other tech-based tools making an artists life easier, like sequencers, VSTs, DAWs, and the like? I see it as maybe another tool to use.
-1With all of the tools you described the entire creative process is still done by a human musician. Sequencers have to be programmed. VSTs are just instruments and they DAWs have simply replaced expensive studio equipment so poors like me can produce a decent sounding track.
I don't want to see generated images or AI coded video games either.
33You're getting downvoted but you are right. Stuff like this is a super cool example of exactly the type of thing you are talking about imo.
There's a lot of AI generated art that sucks. But that does not imply that in skilled hands an artist can't use those tools in creative/interesting ways.
5Technicalities probably, but much like computery things in general these tools don't make all things easier necessarily. If pure making and playing of music is the goal, then just pickup an instrument. Record it with a nice preamp and microphone in an appropriate space. These tools allow many more and different options however. Of course I can approximate an orchestra good enough for low budget projects if not tv shows, without needing to hire an actual orchestra. And apply convolution reverb of the sistene chapel, or my bathroom. No complaints about the massive world of possibilities at our finger tips. But if I could hire a local school orchestra, the recording gear, and have an afternoon on such a project , it would be alot more fun than scrolling for hours for the right picollo flute sample, wrestling with licences (including cost) , upgrade hassles, and other tech headaches of this digital age. Back to my banjo. Saying all that I prefer when the tools mature into instruments and methods in their own right. e.g mpc sampling and performance, ableton live magic , and more. Plus its not all mutually exclusive. Do whats right for the art at the given time.
3Valid question, fuck those downvoters.

Funniest comment I've read in a pretty long time, props.

The RIAA vs the AI industry... Can they both lose?
46Grabs popcorn let's find out
17Let's hope for an extremely long and expensive legal process where the RIAA gets an initial injunction against OpenAI while the case plays out.

Each shit music industry. One of the greediest predatory industries around.
34Corps battling each other for power while our slave labour feeds them...
A Boring dystopia
27"Let them fight."
20Problem is this is a Cell vs C18 fight. Don't let Cell win and absorb C18 :/ neither can win.

capitalists x capitalists. Die both
13In this day and age an artist can be their own record label.
7Yes and no. Promotion is a whole other beast now, not like in the day. But almost everything else - yes! And it’s great. My friend gave me what would have been $100,000 piece of gear in 1985 - because he had two of them.
4they gave you AutoTune?

GOOD
5No, BAD.
RIAA is evil. AI is good for us plebs while it's still legal for us to own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos, in the same way the internet is a net good because it's free and open and gives us power to practice communism (information sharing, hacking (classic meaning) and open source).
All regulation will be aimed squarely at destroying that, concentrating power in the hands of the few away from just any old proletariat tom dick and harry.
Corpos will pay any fees and fines as a cost of doing business and acquire all licenses and reach private agreements with publishers out of reach for the common man or small business, all the while passing the cost of all this onto the consumer eventually just to invest in tech that will make the line go up for a few more quarters.
IP law does not benefit you and you will never truly benefit from it.
Don't simp for corpos.
P.S.: Imagine the next LLM, 10-20 years from now is truly groundbreaking and useful, it's a new tool, and without that tool, you're no longer competitive for work, and all of said tool is owned by 1-2 multinational predatory conglomerates jacking up prices, because you have no choice but to pay up to live. It's cyberpunk, just boring and without the implants, price-gouging a necessity just as they do now with housing or insulin.
We need to preserve the power to do this freely, fairly, without profit and without licensing works.
29Its honestly sad how many people I see on Lemmy cheering on corporate IP law because GRRM is pissed off at not getting a few million more royalties by being included in a training set.

I was surprised it took them this long. But this just means that labels want to own AI songmaking, this is not good for creators or listeners either. Rick Beato was talking about this today:
