If an AI "listened" to music and created new samples for musicians to use for a fee, do you not think the original musicians should be compensated?
The value transfer is basically theft.
It isn't about the usefulness of the service, or even that something similar is a good thing ... it is about the execution and what it says about fairness for those that worked to create the data it depends on to produce value.
- andybak 4y agoI'm not sure I was clear enough when I expressed my doubts about the concept of intellectual property. Your musical example is playing out in the courts in multiple forms. The Marvin Gaye case, Led Zeppelin, Katie Perry etc. And each case pushes me further towards wanting to rip down the whole rotten edifice. We've lived through 4 or 5 decades of unprecedented expansion of the domain to which IP lays claim. Surely it's time for the pendulum to swing the other way?
- HeavyStorm 4y agoIf I listen to music and create samples to be sold, is it theft?
- sirsinsalot 4y agoIf your aim is to produce music that is directly derived from what you listened to ... yes. And this has been tested in court time and again. AI isn't being inspired or creative, it is mass scale and mechanised bootlegging. To compare it to human inspiration is naive or wishful thinking.
