I know many believe that this is mess is the result of the existing Copyright laws but I disagree. We are in times of change, where Wild Wild West is getting rules and enforcement. It's a painful situation for most, because the rules are ambiguous, made up on spot and change often. I believe the true solution is through use of scalable and precise technology, brining high transparency and removing ambiguity. I built my whole company around this idea [0], so I'm definitely biased. I know that many might disagree with me on this, but shattering copyright is not going to do us, the society, any favors. If you, as I, believe that automation is going exceedingly take over more of our responsibilities, IP (intellectual property) [read creativity] is the only thing left to us as humans. While many believe copyright is about extortion of money, I believe it's about proper attribution. This is the founding principle behind Creative Commons which believes that credits needs to be given to the creators. If they choose to make money of their creation, that's their right and should be followed. I do believe that with transparent rules and removed ambiguity the UGC market will thrive beyond what we seen so far. You can see glimpses of what's possible through platforms like TikTok or Triller that do acquire licenses and are in process of paying creators portion of the revenue. This was one of the most important innovations of YouTube that spurred a whole new market and paved the way for many new platforms. Imagine that you, as a creator, could know instantly which content of other people can you use under what conditions. If you disagree with them, you just don't use it and choose something else. Especially in music, this gives you a freedom of selection. There is 80M songs. There will be always enough to choose from, even if the major righpshodlers would withhold their catalogues. I believe that if the rules are know, are stable and unambiguous, then the market will be much stronger and healthier for everyone.
