The difference between AI and artists is that artists are humans, which should grant them more rights and fewer penalties than some fucking software.

Artists don't get penalized, but for that reason, we should penalize the hell out of it.

If a bunch of hyper intelligent space aliens came in and started squeezing the rest of us out of creative economic activity, they shouldn't be on an equal playing field either. Laws and rules exist to serve humans, not machines.

Machines don't go out on their own to create and upload music, they do so under human instruction, so their output should be policed the same way we police other machine generated output directed by humans.

I guess you haven’t seen some of the agentic stuff?

I work with coding agents every day, I don't think they have ever started working on a project without me telling them to

OpenClaw does this kind of stuff. People give it a "personality" and let it go wild doing whatever it wants - finding and contributing PRs to GitHub projects, and yes also making music. It was all the rage like 2-5 months ago.

And i would consider this as an agent doing things under human instruction
