@jhwgh1968 @davidgerard they wish to be the ones selling training rights to openai, including to music of non-members

@jhwgh1968 my point is more the secony part

they are planning on selling extended collective licenses which include music whose artists have not explicitly granted GEMA rights to do so (this has been legal in germany for a few years now)

and honestly i’d rather have a chatbot be able to reproduce lyrics to an artist whose singing is notoriously difficult to understand than the licensing monopolist with origins in nazi germany selling licenses to music and pocketing the proceeds
