@cigitalgem @pluralistic This is something we're hoping to fix with the Good Potato Project! Spoke to a bunch of labels at the Big Ears festival, they liked the idea. More info: goodpotatoproject.com (literally filming more explanation videos this week, adding to the demo, etc)

@cigitalgem this isn't just an AI issue. YouTube allows anyone to file a copyright strike by claiming to own the rights, and leaves it up to the creator to defend.

Copyright law applied this way is not protecting copyright holders, it's protecting thieves. AI just automates the theft.
