Some say prostitution is the oldest profession, but musicians have been getting fucked far longer than that.

It's deeper than that though.

If you read down in the comments, someone posts how they use 3-D printing to create art and sell online. He said within, I believe within 2 weeks, someone has copied it, and stuck it on Amazon for 1/3 the price. I'd bet they used A.I.

What I see, and there's evidence all around- just look at YT videos that curate other videos and narrate over top of them- is that people are using A.I. to copy anything that can be done so digitally, and basically stealing it, to make money.

I see this whole thing as being so dangerous, on so many levels, many of which haven't even been thought of yet.

And because so much of it crosses international borders, good luck legislating against it, let alone catching anyone, if you can even prove the guilt!

This has been going on for ever.. At least Ola regained control.
We got ripped of so bad by elements in Russia primarily and China a few years ago off our 2 albums it wasn't funny/ People would send me links to our material on websites we clearly weren't being compensated for. I'd forward the info to our label (never EVER sign with a label) and they'd say there was nothing they could do... And I was thinking, where did they get our material from? Well, when an unreleased unmastered track we sent to the label started showing up on nefarious sites.. What would you think?

That's when you make a new track, put some little glitch in it (something not easily noticeable but distinct), only send it to the label and see if it ends up online. The glitch would tell that it's the exact copy you sent. Then sue the shit out of the label.

This is probably happening to damn near everyone who has music out there tbh

In essence, that's what we did with the un mastered track. It had elements in it that would not be on the finished product. I wont name the European label but thank god we had the good sense to sign a one album contract. The music industry has become the last bastion legalized slavery.

What happened? Can someone paraphrase?

What happened? Can someone paraphrase?

Someone is using Ola's original music as his own creations, and is monetizing them in a Chinese music stream channel.
Ola gets a copyright infringement claim for playing his own music on YouTube. The claim comes from that channel

Lawyer's reaction:


BTW: I accidentally put the link to that lawyer's reaction at the Insert Gif Insert instead of the Media Insert, and this is what I got:

Try it yourself, and scroll down

This is why I steal all my music from other people first..

Then, when someone ells steals it, they're already wrekt.

With AI currently being the wild west of intellectual property creation, it’s going to get a lot worse before it ever gets better. *IF* it ever gets better.

And China isn’t helping. Had a friend who visited China about ten years ago tell me the first retail environment they saw there had my books, fully bootlegged versions, for sale alongside bootlegged Star Wars dvds and bootlegged video games. Apparently China doesn’t consider foreign copyrights and trademarks as legitimate within their country/territory (which includes cyberspace).

There’re piles of people and companies stealing every form of intellectual property you can imagine. And, sadly, huge players in the international economic market enabling ‘em.

Don't go to the Black Sea area then.....it's the same there too...... finding anything legit there, is like ordering rare imports from a magazine ad in the 80s.... difficult and time consuming.

This reminds me of the time I had to redeploy my naval forces to the Baltic Sea.
