I’m interested in this for two reasons. First, because when suno first came out they said that they would only train on public license music. If the court found out differently, then that’s pretty damning. The second, though, I think is more interesting. Using music to train an AI model isn’t too dissimilar from a cover band. They aren’t replicating songs wholesale, at least as far as I know. I wonder how much argument that can make for fair use? Again, it’s up to what the courts found. This isn’t like an LLM regurgitating a book.

Fucking idiots. Should have blocked a bridge during commuter hours like the rest of the world. What are they trying to accomplish? Change?
