Prediction: Hacks will flood spotify, youtube, and social sites with terrible cheap shoddy songs titled as if they are made by actual artists and the platforms

Prediction: Hacks will flood spotify, youtube, and social sites with terrible cheap shoddy songs titled as if they are made by actual artists and the platforms will dish out royalties meant for authentic artists to total frauds. Real musicians may possibly abandon mega-music platforms altogether, and implement more secure (direct sales) platforms on their own web sites... Big platforms really are not helpful nor respectful to musicians, especially musicians that are working hard to be discovered. It's a total shame that shotify charges musicians to be promoted on their platform while giving a ton of royalties away to so many fraudulent actors every year.

I don't think that would work, if a song is detectable enough to give the artist royalties for a song, it's detectable enough to see that it's copyrighted music. IMHO I think music piracy is essentially dead, because the music industry has finally learned and made a compelling product. With services like Spotify and Apple Music, pirating music is just not worth it anymore. Why bother when for $10/month you could listen to all the music to your hearts content. Universal asking steaming companies to not use their label's music on training is just stupid because all they are doing is shooting the artists in the foot. Most AI in music is recommendation engines, do you not want your artists to be discovered? The streaming services are not stealing your music you idiot [UMG], they are trying to make you more money by directing people to music they like.

  You have no idea of what you're typing about, nor about how content ID works online for music. Ai music generators are specifically designed to circumvent content ID. Ai generators put music and other content in a blender and then scrambles the source samples until they are unrecognizable and then mashes the tiny cut pieces of source samples back together into a collage. Kind of like putting a strawberry into a smoothie... It's no longer a strawberry, but the smoothie now has the extracted taste of strawberry AND the other original materials used to source the end product. Content ID only recognizes strawberries and whole fruits, not smoothies.
