@mosgaard@uddannelse.social @unfa@mastodon.social Well, by German law, any music released in Germany in any way can be licensed by GEMA (the only German collecting society) to AI training. Even though if you as a musician are not a member of GEMA! Musicians have to opt-out actively in written form (I did). If a piece has more than one composer, all composers must opt-out, otherwise licensing the music to AI training by GEMA is still legal. Yet the news hasn't spread about it, even though this regulation has been active since about one year now. GEMA explicitly states AI training as possible usage (in German): https://www.gema.de/de/w/erweiterte-kollektivlizenzen
