and this, friends, is what us anti-ai people been warning about with regards to ip ownership all along. it's not that we're anti piracy, it's that if there's a set of rules for the people, and a set of rules for the technoligarchs, who's getting fucked is the people.

Oh boy, another reason to hate Spotify.
- platform racists
- pay racists for exclusive rights to platform
- remove songs requested taken down by authoritarian governments because it's important to them they do business in those countries (apparently)
- leave "heil hitler" up despite it being an obvious problem "because it's not their place to censor art" (see prior point)
- use algorithms to push down challenging and importart art and promote unchallenging consumable music, or worse right wing propaganda
- the media bubbles regardless of what's in the bubbles isolate us
- don't pay artists what their music is worth even though what we pay for is access to the music the artists make
- this ai bullshit
what else am i missing? because i know there's tons more
- the degradation of podcasts as a open standard.
god. yeah. that's a good point. i tend to blame amazon more for that shit, but a podcast should just be an rss feed with audio files, goddammit
This is why we have to go anti corpo as much as possible and every where possible.
A corpo in inherently is the enemy of the worker, taxpyer and consumer
They fuck us at every stage. Obstruction is the way.
Deny the parasite profit and engagement
Well, ok.
How do i get in on this?

Spotify is creating and promoting the 'music' to take money from real artists, unless you are Spotify then you cannot.
Yeah i know. But i have a fake band, so thought I'd ask
I think you need to start by having your own music streaming platform....
You could probably vibe code something up in a weekend.
Or just fake that as well.
The cash will soon flow in
They will ban you if you do it
Sigh... Rules for thee
And Spotify owns the AI "artist" so they get paid
As if the youtuber get rick quick scheme of ai generating remixes and puttting them on Spotify wasn't dumb enough.
I have no problem with music that is / has AI generation. I have a problem (and always have had a problem) with people that are straight up counterfeiting legit pieces with these legally distinct AI remixes.
