Comment on US man pleads guilty to defrauding music streamers out of millions using AI

db2@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

The case against Smith highlights a growing problem for the music industry that had largely recovered from the Napster music piracy era of the early 2000s only to be faced with an AI-based threat to revenue from music streaming platforms such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music.

This is supposed to make me feel sympathetic to the multi billion dollar corporations? Fuck all the way off with that shit.

The artists get essentially none of that money, so when they talk about the “music industry” they are talking about all the parasites feeding off them. Rob them for all they are worth.
