AI Music Startup Suno Admits Training on Copyrighted Music, Claims it is “fair use” https://pctechmag.com/2024/08/suno-admits-training-on-copyrighted-music-claims-it-is-fair-use/ Fri, 02 Aug 2024 09:22:52 +0000 https://pctechmag.com/?p=77619 AI music startup has emphasized that while "IP rights can attach to a particular recorded rendition of a song in one of those genres or styles" they do not extend to the genre or style itself.

The post AI Music Startup Suno Admits Training on Copyrighted Music, Claims it is “fair use” appeared first on PC Tech Magazine.

In response to a recent lawsuit filed by major labels under the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) against music software startups Udio and Suno, Suno admitted to training its AI model using copyrighted songs. The music AI startup however argues that training an AI model on copyrighted music is “fair use”

Suno asserted in a Thursday court document, that intellectual property laws are designed to prevent monopolizing a form of artistic expression. “Our intellectual property laws have always been carefully calibrated to avoid allowing anyone to monopolize a form of artistic expression, whether a sonnet or a pop song.” The startup emphasized that while “IP rights can attach to a particular recorded rendition of a song in one of those genres or styles” they do not extend to the genre or style itself.

While Suno admits that training its model from data on the open internet indeed contains copyrighted materials, some of which are owned by major record labels, the company’s CEO and co-founder Mikey Shulman said in a blog post published the same day as the filing that it’s the same thing as a “kid writing their rock songs after listening to the genre — or a teacher or a journalist reviewing existing materials to draw new insights”

“Learning is not infringing. It never has been, and it is not now,” Shulman added.

The AI-powered music-making tool also went ahead and accused the world’s largest record labels of hiding behind copyright lawsuits to fend off competition from music written by generative AI adding that “the Plaintiffs in this lawsuit seek to shut Suno down”

“They frame their concern as one about “copies” of their recordings made in the process of developing the technology —that is, copies never heard or seen by anyone, made solely to analyze the sonic and stylistic patterns of the universe of pre-existing musical expression.” the court filing reads in part. “But what the major record labels don’t want is competition. Where Suno sees musicians, teachers, and everyday people using a new tool to create original music, the labels see a threat to their market share”

In a June 24 press statement made in coordination with the filing, the RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said, “The music community has embraced AI and we are already partnering and collaborating with responsible developers to build sustainable AI tools centered on human creativity that put artists and songwriters in charge,” further adding that “But we can only succeed if developers are willing to work together with us. Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all.”

Spotify Song Lyrics Return to Free Status https://pctechmag.com/2024/08/spotify-song-lyrics-return-to-free-status/ Thu, 01 Aug 2024 10:41:02 +0000 https://pctechmag.com/?p=77587 Spotify has brought back unrestricted song lyrics for free users, a feature the music streaming platform had placed behind a premium paywall.

The post Spotify Song Lyrics Return to Free Status appeared first on PC Tech Magazine.

Spotify has brought back unrestricted song lyrics for free users, a feature the music streaming platform had placed behind a premium paywall. The company previously only allowed users access to only three songs per month.

Talking to Engadget, Spotify’s spokesperson said that the music service is always “testing and iterating,” adding that the company will be “expanding Lyrics availability for Spotify Free users so more people can enjoy viewing more lyrics, globally,” Plus, it will be available to all users “over the coming weeks.”

The music service first rolled out its real-time lyrics feature globally in November 2021 after only offering it to a select few countries. In September last year, Spotify began testing making lyrics a Premium-only feature but the wider rolling out started in May this year.

Spotify like any other music app has had a complicated history with lyrics. While the company currently works with Musixmatch to display song lyrics, the two parties in 2016 shortly parted ways. Spotify then opted to instead offer a “Behind the Lyrics” feature following its partnership with Genius.

However, this wasn’t the same thing. The feature was only offering background information on songs. It should however, be noted that at this time, the company was offering lyrics in some markets, like Japan where Spotify users had access to lyrics through a standalone deal with SyncPower, but the feature hadn’t received a widespread launch.

Showing on Amazon Prime Video This August https://pctechmag.com/2024/07/showing-on-amazon-prime-video-this-august/ Wed, 31 Jul 2024 08:36:26 +0000 https://pctechmag.com/?p=77543 Dive into older movies on Amazon Prime Video this August. Going back to where it all begun with movies such as; Psycho (1960), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), The Superman film series, Ronin (1998), among others.

It is a few hours to August —and of all things, we should expect something from video on-demand over-the-top streaming services, who will be adding (new and old) TV shows and films to their library this month. The Umbrella Academy fans will be waiting till August 8th on Netflix to watch the final season of the superhero television series, while on August 2nd, Rebel Moon fans will watch Parts 1 and 2 of the Director’s Cut, and if you love Kdramas and Anime, Netflix is adding (Mission Cross, Romance in the House) and (From me to You, Risin Impact) respectively.

Just like Netflix, Amazon’s Prime Video has quite several TV shows and films that they will be adding to their library this month for their watchers —among which include Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy & The Hobbit film trilogy, buddy cop action comedy film; 21 Jump Street (1 and 2), The Superman film series, Mark Herman’s holocaust historical drama film; The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, and a pseudo-documentary horror film; The Poughkeepsie Tapes as well as one of my favorites (really! I don’t know why) Stardust. As for kdrama fans (Korean films and dramas have gained so much attention and are loved by many, at least), you get to watch No Gain No Love at the end of the month.

These are just a few Prime Video is adding to their list. The video on-demand over-the-top streaming service is adding movies from way back to 1949 to the current; 2024. The list is pretty much dominated by older movies with the oldest being Sullivan’s Travels; a comedy film about Hollywood director John L. Sullivan who sets out to experience life as a homeless person in order to gain relevant life experience for his next movie. Others include; Little Women (1949), When Worlds Collide (1951), Invaders from Mars (1953), There’s Always Tomorrow (1956), Psycho (1960), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), The Day of the Jackal (1973), Three Days of the Condor (1975), The Warriors (1979), Terms of Endearment (1983), The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), and Born on the Fourth of July (1989).

So you can dive back —to old school, way before chroma key screens—more commonly known as green screens were extensively like today.

Here’s a full list of movies added to Amazon Prime Video this month;
