This is promotion of piracy and trying to get the community to engage and validate it - if you can’t see the line then maybe take the time to learn that it exists and how to recognize it.



What piracy?

Copyright does not cover ideas, generic patterns, timbres etc.

If you know music history then will know that classical composers borrowed heavily. Without it, we would still be at the stone age level.


Since these algorithms aren't sentient, I'd say they shouldn't have the same rights and obligations as us. Have you heard of fair playing field?

This situation can easily spiral out of control in a way that you end up with an oligarchy in music, where AI captures most of the attention, since it will be backed by those with most means to shove it in your face.

So yes, this is piracy. Hopefully the law will catch onto the ethics.


The courts haven't decided whether or not this is even considered piracy or fair use, besides there are courts all over the world...
