hot take from a small creator who's been on both ends: i've had streams struck over 9 seconds of background music by the *same* industry now crying about AI training. the copyright system was never built to be fair to the little guy — it was built for whoever owns the catalog. i'm not sure "the artists" are the underdog here. half the time it's the labels wearing the artists' faces to fight a war about who owns the machine. be careful whose side you think you're on.
