Creative industries argue this is not anti-innovation.
It is about a fair market.
If AI companies use books, journalism, films, TV catalogues, music, images and scripts to build commercial tools, creators and rightsholders should have a route to permission and payment.

@packmusicAustralia's first musician-owned streaming cooperative. 70% of every subscription goes directly to the artists you listen to. Human curation. Real music, made by real people. We're crowdfunding now. Link in bio. #ThePackMusic #FairPay #AustralianMusic #SupportLocalMusic #IndependentArtists
You all know this story. You go to a gig and watch a local muso you love play to a room of about two hundred people. Everyone in the room has their phone out. The music is amazing. She makes enough from the gig to pay the band… but not to get ahead.
And she made $11 from streaming that month. Make you wonder how she'll fund recording her next album, hey… or whether she'll even bother.
We built The Pack Music Co-operative because we thought there was a better arrangement available — one where 70% of every subscription goes directly to the artists you actually listen to, where discovery surfaces music being made locally, and where the platform is owned by the musicians on it.
We thinking streaming should be a realistic supplementary income, not an extraction racket.
We're crowdfunding now, from $25. https://crowdfunding.startsomegood.com/thepackmusiccoop #ThePackMusic #FairPay #AustralianMusic #SupportLocalMusic
