“The largest intellectual property theft in human history”: Big tech companies accused of scraping millions of copyrighted songs to train AI models.

"Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Llama 3 LLM... has, apparently, been trained on copy-protected music and lyrics by Lorde, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys and many many others."

"The Open AI Jukebox app, asserts the ICMP, has been trained copy-protected music by artists including Elton John, Drake and Madonna. Other companies to be caught include Microsoft’s AI Copilot app and Google AI system Gemini."

JUST IN: Anthropic has agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of book authors alleging copyright infringement.

That’s at least $3,000 for each copyrighted work that it pirated.

Africa’s streaming scene is booming, with 560+ platforms now available across the continent. 📈 But did you know that 97% of content is still foreign?

Africa is telling its stories — but there's room for more. The future of streaming is bold, diverse, and increasingly African.

As an artist, if your manager goes with everything you say 100% of the time then you don’t have a manager, you have a stuur boy (errand boy). If your manager openly challenges some of your creative ideas and plays devil’s advocate at least 50-90% of the time, then you have a business partner - keep him/her close‼️
