The difference being that Sony actually has teams of lawyers who specialize in copyright violations, including unauthorized sampling. If the AI companies are caught using Sony material this won’t go nearly as easily for them as stealing some random blogger’s writings or a small artist’s images.
Opts out?
Look, if we’re going to have draconian copyright laws, then we should at least be able to count on works being used without permission for AI to be verboten like all the other uses.
Am I missreading the prohibition of analysis? Correlations?
Sony and 4 other companies basically own all music. If they can opt out, it gives them a defacto monopoly on any music generators. The AI music is still going to come and artists aren’t getting a dime either way except maybe some big names that don’t need the money anyways.
There is nothing to be gained from taking Sony’s side here. Sony is a pos company that exploits all the artists under it. It will exploit it’s data to create more profit through AI, without paying them.
Its either open source AI anyone can run at home or closed source AI that only a few companies can legally run, offered with a hefty subscription fee and censorship.
4?
Sony, universal and Warner are the big 3. Who are you could ting as the 4th? BMG?
company that exploits all the artists under it.
In the sense that all Labour under capitalism is exploitative, maybe, but otherwise Sony is pretty well liked among its artists.
But I agree with the rest of what you said.
Good luck with that lol
So they’re protective of their OWN media libraries, but when its customers libraries “fuck em”
