So this video just came out:

...and it got me thinking. If I sample "DJ KHALID!!!!" into one of my songs, UMG, Warner or Sony can come in and sue my butt off to oblivion. (Especially here, in Europe, where "Fair Use" is not existing as a legal construct.) But if Suno or Udio spit out this very same tag in a track, it's perfectly legal, because as of right now, the output of AI models is not subject to copyright.

I'm aware that there's the big RIAA lawsuit happening. But that concerns more of the training phase of the model. Not the user-facing so called "inference" phase. So even when that gets settled, even when Suno and Udio negotiate some licensing models with labels, it won't change anything on the logic. You sample as a human being? Bad. Machine samples the same thing? ...yeah, that's alright.
