"YouTube only continues to exist because of a delicate dance that keeps rightsholders happy and the music industry paid, but the future of Google itself is a bet on an expansive interpretation of copyright law that every creative industry from music to movies to news hates and will fight to the death." Absolute banger of a post by Nilay Patel. https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/19/23689879/ai-drake-song-google-youtube-fair-use

    @andybaio@xoxo.zone at the risk of Contributing to the Discourse, this is a bit too breathless for my taste. "Oh no, there is a new thing that intersects with copyright, whatever will the copyright maximalists do?" Like, what do you think they're gonna do? They're gonna do what they've always done. Saying "oh they can't possibly do that because of this tiny technical loophole that I just thought of in just the right way to make it seem like a problem" is like the nerd version of "checkmate, atheists!"

    @andybaio@xoxo.zone What if Drake recorded his own version of that song? Also reminded of this Rock Astley lawsuit https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/27/yung-gravy-sued-by-rick-astley-signature-voice-betty-get-money-never-gonna-give-you-up
