"For Many Artists, This Is Déjà Vu – And Not The Good Kind!"
Prof Snyder's Music Biz News by AI Music and Music Industry Educator, Jeff Snyder
Episode notes
A former exec at Meta (Facebook) said "...asking for permission from rights owners to train models would 'basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight.' "
In 1997, it was the new technology, MP3s, used by Napster, that the labels said would kill Music.
Back then the labels sued Napster, Kazaa, etc; today the labels are suing Suno and Udio. Is history repeating itself? Lot's of parallels!
