Just what’s going on here? Here’s my short video intro to GENERATIVE MUSIC with LALAL.ai

I’m hoping to spur a conversation about AI and ART. Musicians have already lost the battle to streaming music platforms. So, now AI can do it better and faster. We need to reHUMANize music. Even Taylor Swift’s new album could’ve been done better with AI. Much better.

The vocal-free tracks were created with AI tool lalal.ai found here: https://bit.ly/3JH0ebs

These videos give all proceeds to the artist. From YouTube’s legal department:
Copyright Copyright-protected content found. The owner allows the content to be used on YouTube.

A NOTE ABOUT AI MUSIC: since most of us generate ZERO royalties from streaming music or YouTube, I am happy to give the orginal artists the rights to monetize this video. Here are some relevant considerations regarding copyright and AI-generated music: The original musical composition and sound recording of any original work are protected by copyright. The artist and their label own these copyrights.

1. An AI system trained on a an artist’s composition may produce musical stems or other derivative works that are substantially similar to the original, which could potentially infringe the artist’s copyrights. However, if the AI output is sufficiently transformative and creative, it may qualify as fair use. This is a gray area in copyright law.
2. If the AI-generated music stems are given to or licensed by the artist and released with their permission, then there would likely be no copyright issue, as the copyright holders are authorizing the use.
3. However, the artist may not want AI stems of their work released without approval, even if credited, as it could impact their brand or artistic integrity. There could be trademark implications as well.
4. Royalty payment to the artist would not necessarily preclude copyright infringement on its own, if the use exceeds fair use. Licensing would likely be required for commercial distribution. Releasing AI-generated music online without permission of the original artists could be risky and open to legal claims, even if credit is given.

The legal boundaries are still evolving. Consultation with an IP lawyer would help assess risks for any specific case. In summary, this is a complex issue involving untested legal boundaries. Caution and direct licensing from original artists would be advisable for AI music releases. Simply crediting them or giving royalties would likely not be sufficient to avoid potential copyright issues.
