Possibly so, but who is the market for such a catalogue? I don’t see how the artist is going to lose out.
I’m reminded, though, if the episode of Mad Men where they want to get the Beatles as the soundtrack to an ad, but on finding out that the Beatles won’t do it they try to get some music that sounds similar to the Beatles. Maybe that’s the market.
- slyall 3y agoA New Zealand political party got into trouble for using a "sound alike" of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem in a political advertisement. They licensed the song from a music library but the court determined the song they licensed was too close to the original. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Mile_Style_v_New_Zealand_National_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Mile_Style_v_New_Zealand...
- rocketbop 3y agoDoesn’t sound like a core market for Eminem. I mean, I find it hard to think of use cases where an artist will really lose out in business terms because someone chooses an AI version of their music over the original. In this case I suspect they wouldn’t have really licensed or tried to licence Lose Yourself.
