@TheProfitDinero @jo_byden @BeatStars @AbeBatshon This is from their Terms of Service.

@TheProfitDinero @jo_byden @BeatStars @AbeBatshon I don't know about you guys but I'm paying sales tax to authorities myself? And you will have no legal obligation to pay VAT if your turnover is below a certain threshold anyways. They aren't paying our sales tax!

All the music in the world for $10.99 is the best deal on planet earth. If you are complaining about a $1 jump, I have no patience for you.

You are not entitled to the work & inspiration of the world's artists without providing them a fraction of a penny.

You underpay.

You’re not a real producer if you don’t hear these

UMG responds to the viral AI-fake Drake & The Weeknd track.

The track is up to 630k on Spotify & 230k on Youtube in ~24 hours.

Here's UMG:

"UMG’s success has been, in part, due to embracing new technology and putting it to work for our artists–as we have been doing with our own innovation around AI for some time already.

"With that said, however, the training of generative AI using our artists’ music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation.

"[This] begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation."

"These instances demonstrate why platforms have a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of their services in ways that harm artists.

"We’re encouraged by the engagement of our platform partners on these issues–as they recognize they need to be part of the solution.”

🔇 Apple, Tidal & Deezer have taken the track down
👀 Still up at Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud

We're watching the new rules be written in real time.

Who owns the rights to a voice's likeness?
Can you model it?
If so, who gets compensated for it?
How?

Did you work on your dreams today?

[DJ Pain 1 @djpain1]

Finishing beats within a day of starting them is a cheat code.
