Listen "Proposed AI laws “dangerous and damaging”, UK Music warns"
Episode Synopsis
CMU’s Andy Malt and Chris Cooke review key events in music and the music business from the last week, including UK Music's claim that a proposed new copyright exception in the UK that would cover all and any text and data mining is “dangerous and damaging” and would simply allow AI companies to “launder” music in order to generate new content, plus the removal of three Michael Jackson tracks from streaming services that some (although not the Jackson estate and Sony Music) have said were recorded by an impersonator.
