☆ Judge dismisses another lawsuit against Ed Sheeran
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Lauren Del Valle | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
The suit was filed in 2018 after SAS unsuccessfully tried to join in as a plaintiff in the Townsend family’s suit. Still, the legal battle over “Thinking Out Loud” is not over for Sheeran and his co-defendants. Representatives for Sheeran declined to comment on Stanton’s dismissal of the case. Another lawsuit that splintered from the original SAS suit against Sheeran and his co-defendants is also still pending in Manhattan federal court. Pullman says the sound recording of “Let’s Get It On” coupled with its sheet music, both of which are registered with the US Copyright Office, will prove their case against Sheeran.
☆ The viral new ‘Drake’ and ‘Weeknd’ song is not what it seems
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Samantha Murphy Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
CNN —One of the buzziest songs recently circulating on TikTok and climbing the Spotify charts featured the familiar voices of best-selling artists Drake and the Weeknd. But there’s a twist: Drake and the Weeknd appear to have had nothing to do with it. The viral track, “Heart on my Sleeve,” comes from an anonymous TikTok user named Ghostwriter977, who claims to have used artificial intelligence to generate the voices of Drake and the Weeknd for the track. The original TikTok video has seemingly been taken down, and the song has since been removed from streaming services including YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify. Taryn Southern’s debut song “Break Free,” which was composed and produced with AI, hit the Top 100 radio charts back in 2018, and VAVA, an AI music artist (i.e.
☆ Universal Music Group calls AI music a ‘fraud,’ wants it banned from streaming platforms. Experts say it’s not that easy

New York CNN —Universal Music Group — the music company representing superstars including Sting, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande — has a new Goliath to contend with: artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, and specifically AI music, learns by either training on existing works on the internet or through a library of music given to the AI by humans. That could possibly threaten UMG’s deep library of music and artists that generate billions of dollars in revenue. “However, the training of generative AI using our artists’ music … begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on.”The company said AI that uses artists’ music violates UMG’s agreements and copyright law. Grammy-winning DJ and producer David Guetta proved in February just how easy it is to create new music using AI.

Barry Diller warned publishers to prepare to fight in order to get paid for AI's use of their work. Diller made the comments at the Semafor Media Summit in New York. "Companies can absolutely sue under copyright law," he said. "It's not clear right now to what extent that has copyright implications," Gerratana said. "It's possible we'll see court decisions that apply copyright law in ways that we wouldn't have expected, because this technology is new, the circumstances are new, and the facts are new."
☆ Big media is gearing up for battle with Google and Microsoft over AI chatbots using their articles for training: 'We are actively considering our options'
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Lucia Moses | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
Publishers want Google and Microsoft to pay them for the use of media content to train their AI. Media companies are also studying how to change their business models to protect themselves from the bots' threat. Within media companies, the topic is being discussed at the highest levels, from the C-suite to the boardroom. Executives are also strategizing with peers and competitors about the possibility of forging a united position against the tech companies, according to multiple publishing sources. The same year, an Australia law forced tech companies to pay news outlets for linking to their articles.
☆ US Copyright Office rejects trademark of AI-generated book images: They are 'not the product of human authorship'
  + stars: | 2023-02-25 | by ( Sarah Al-Arshani | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
An author used AI-generated images in a recently published graphic novel. The US Copyright Office ruled that while the book is protected, the AI-generated images are not. The office said the images weren't protected because they are "not the product of human authorship." The Copyright Office, however, said Kashtanova did not inform it of the use of AI-generated images in the initial copyright application and requested that she update the application or risk losing the copyright. After months of review, the office ruled on Tuesday that the book would keep it's copyright protection, but the the AI-generated images would not because they are "not the product of human authorship."
☆ Artists say AI image generators are copying their style to make thousands of new images — and it's completely out of their control
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( Beatrice Nolan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
"My name is being used a lot to generate AI images, along with the names of other working artists." "So if an AI is copying an artist's style and a company can just get an image generated that's similar to a popular artist's style without actually going to artists to pay them for that work, that could become an issue." Representatives from Open AI said both publicly available sources and images licensed by the company make up DALL-E's training data. Copyright laws around AI images are murkyIt's unclear whether copyright laws will protect the new artwork that AI programs generate. "I have friends in the industry who will storm out of the room if I even bring up using AI," he said.
