I think if the venue is paying ASCAP/BMI, then the DJ can play a recording from that entire catalog. That probably doesn’t apply to an AI-generated track, but it’s how recording artists are generally compensated for appearing in a DJ set.
- jameshart 4y agoYes, that is rather the point. If he used an actual Eminem track or lyric he would be covered by venue ASCAP licensing. As it is he used a clip that he made himself using an online tool based on a lyric that OpenAI randomly generated, that means it’s probably not even copyrightable, so has no rights issues (unless maybe he breached the ToS of any of the services he used to generate it?) and is certainly not sharing in commercial proceeds with the artist impersonated. And so the question is… is that okay?
