Comment on AI Music Generator Suno Admits It Was Trained on ‘Essentially All Music Files on the Internet’
Cagi@lemmy.ca 5 months agoTaking other people’s creative works to create your own for profit product is illegal in every way except when AI does it. AI is not a person watching videos. AI is a product using others’ content ass it’s bricks and mortar. Thousands of hours of work on a project you completed being used by someone else to turn sa profit, maybe even used in some way you vehemently disagree with, without giving you a dime is unethical and needs regulation from that perspective.

exactly how human culture progresses, and trying to stop it
is unethical and needs regulation from that perspective.
Taking other people’s creative works to create your own productive work is allowed if you are making a fair use. There’s a very good argument that use such as training a model on a work would be a fair use under the current test; being a transformative use, that replicates practically no actual part of the original piece in the finished work, that (arguably) does not serve as a replacement for that specific piece in the market.
Fair use is the cornerstone of remix art, of fan art, of huge swathes of musical genres. What we are witnessing is the birth of a new technique based on remixing and unfortunately this time around people are convinced that fighting on the side of big copyright is somehow the good thing for artists.

wrong.
You’re literally on a piracy server. You know about the laws and how hard the corpos crack down on us. Why the fuck are you licking the boots now
you’re wrong on the facts, this has nothing to do with supporting corporations.
Sure, jan
because i’m principled, so i know that copying content is good and stopping people from copying is bad.

That’s covered by section 107 of the US copyright law, and is actually fine and protected as free use in most cases. As long as the work is a direct copy and instead changes the result to be something different.
All parody type music is protected in this way, whether it’s new lyrics to a song, or even something less “creative” like performing the lyrics of song A to the melody and style of song B.
