AI music is a problem

Right now, any intellectual property created by AI is not protected by copyright, at least not in the USA.

This is a double-edged sword because it means there's virtually nothing to stop "creators" from knocking out an endless stream of tracks and distributing them however they want.

Earning money from such creations however, becomes a little more problematic.

According to some of the largest music streaming sites on the internet, around half of all tracks uploaded these days are AI-generated and they're paying money to people who've likely done little more than type a few words into an AI system such as those offered by Suno or Udio.

Is this really fair?

And what about the intellectual property rights of "real" musicians whose work has been used, often without permission, to train those AI music generation agents?

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
