The condition that absolves impersonators from responsibility is that they must clearly present that they are impersonators.. That doesn't quite apply here, as the tracks were posted to streaming services as if they were published by the actual artists.
If the fake/imitation song makers are required to label their releases as parody or impersonation, then they'll get no streams, as most of the bootleg streams they got were due to putting out a mimicked (pseudo-authentic) release as if it was done by the actual artist.
Reputational harm is also a serious case that can also be filed... With an artist as popular as Drake (for example) that can lead to a financially devastating judgement.
- soulofmischief 3y agoIf it's non-commercial and not making false accusations then I'm not sure it matters (in the US)? Happy to hear otherwise. Anyway, ghostwriter clearly demarked Heart on My Sleeve as being AI-assisted. Furthermore, the tracks were first sung and then AI was used to transform the voices. It's hardly more than another tool in the audio production toolbox.
