Hmmm. I dont exactly want to cheer on the music publishing copyright industry, but AI infringing on creative spaces is certainly an issue especially when its trained using someones data without their consent.
Im surprised they arent chomping at the bit to train these AIs so that they can use the end result to give us AI driven artists, but I guess their knee jerk reaction to do a dcma takedown is too strong.
I know of two other lawsuits basically concerning the same thing: does AI output trained on other people’s work violate copyright. The existing ones are independent artists sueing about image generation algorithms, but I assume the same concepts will apply here too.
I don’t think a DMCA takedown would suffice, because the AI companies would just send a counter notice and the suit would end up in court anyway. A blanket “please stop doing business” takedown just won’t have any effect.
These lawsuits are going to have a huge effect, unless they all get settled. If the artists end up winning, the AI industry is going to need to scramble to collect a database that they actually have the rights to use (tech billionaires paying for content? preposterous!) or AI will be the escape hatch for anyone looking to plagiarise other people’s work.
