Seems to me that this guy broke no laws at all?
There is nothing stopping someone from creating AI bands.
No rule that says music has to have a creative genius behind it… and if the creative genius happens to be the “band creator” who created AI bands and, by extension, songs…. So be it. Art is many things.
As for creating bots to listen to music and increase hits? Practice is so common as to be considered an every day activity. And who says you have to get “people” listening to your music to get paid for it? Elevator music gets paid royalties if no one is “listening”. Tons of news outlets and political teams and retailers use bots to boost their numbers.
I see a smart guy who created songs with AI and created listeners for that music. All while using a worthless system that is too ossified to keep up with technology… so it tries to sue the innovators instead of evolving its own schemes…. I mean are these “royalty companies” any more artists than TicketMaster controlling the concert side of things?
If I created an AI hologram band to play a concert hall (it’s happening) and did t use Ticketmaster… the world would come to an end.
This guy saw a way a corrupt system could generate revenue… without doing anything but being creative (the very definition of art) and is getting arrested?
When are they going to arrest Taylor Swift for garbage music not created by her… so many remixes that noone even knows what she sounds like… and millions of bot followers to boost her dizzy pop false idol status… and the bots streaming her music so she can have two G5’s.? She is no less fake than this guys AI bands
What Is the difference?
They see Fraud… when we should see genius and the whole thing being art!!!
