What's need to be protected is the fair access to "AI"s assisting the creative process. Because it seems you need access to huge amount of data and big big hardware, which won't be available to all the composers, or only the richest and most powerful.

I guess what will decide in the end is if people get more music they like than before assistive "AI"s. Actually, we don't know if composers + "AI"s can produce an additional significant amount of music people like.
