Global Artist Coalition Accuses Record Labels of Hypocrisy in AI Music Licensing Deals

By

Summary

A worldwide coalition of artists, songwriters, and managers has released a letter calling out record labels and publishers for hypocrisy in AI music licensing deals. The coalition argues that while labels and publishers demand that AI companies get permission to train on their music catalogs, they are not granting the same rights to the artists and songwriters who actually create the music. The letter warns that innovation cannot be used to override artists' rights, and demands that labels and publishers stop the misuse of artists' rights in AI deals.
