"The most distressing impact was the erosion of fans’ trust. Fans should be able to trust that the music under an artist’s name is genuinely theirs." Folk artist @emilygportman on the impact a fake AI album released under her name has had on her career. tinyurl.com/3yyzd362 @RollingStoneUK

are the very words "race"--"gender"--"inequalities"--"slaveholders"--"slavery" all outlawed in Texas classrooms? trying to think how courses in American history & literature could possibly be taught. no Huckleberry Finn? nothing by Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison? James Baldwin? is the history of slavery presented as some sort of contractual employment between free parties? obviously, the Civil Rights movement could not be mentioned. maybe a course in "Bull Connor: Profile of a Hero."

OpenAI seems to have trained Sora on Hollywood movies, Netflix shows, TikTok, Twitch, the NBA, and video games.
Fantastic reporting from the Washington Post.

The $1.5 billion settlement in the Anthropic copyright lawsuit is historic - the biggest ever copyright case payout, $3k each for 500,000 authors.
But it’s frustrating that big AI companies can use the hype around AI to settle these lawsuits so easily. $1.5B is *3x* how much Anthropic was worth when they downloaded these pirated books in 2021; now, $1.5B is less than 1% of their value.
Still, $1.5B into the pockets of authors is a big win for creatives, and is why so many people fight so hard for creatives to be treated fairly by AI companies. And I suspect we may see even bigger sums from other cases where copyright owners win outright.

The international independent music community has legitimate concerns about too much power being concentrated in the hands of a very few corporations, which can limit opportunity, access and deal terms for artists.

UMG vill förvärva Downtown – ett viktiga bolag för många av oss. FUGA, CD Baby, Songtrust… viktiga verktyg i händerna på ett enda stort företag? Det riskerar att förvrida marknaden helt. Bra att @EU_Commission har inlett en utredning. @Teresaribera @JessikaRoswall

SOM @indieSOM , Impala, SAMI och många med oss fortsätter uppmärksamma effekterna av RAAP-domen och behovet av åtgärder från EU. Fint att @Justitiedep och Sveriges regering förstått våra argument och själva också fortsätter driva frågan.

WIN promotes equity, diversity, inclusion and sustainability in the music sector. SOM chairman @EvaKarman reflects on how, as a global organization, we provide a valuable platform, in line with our Global Independent Values:
