Copyright bots and classical musicians are fighting online. The bots are winning.; The Washington Post, May 21, 2020


Michael Andor Brodeur , The Washington Post
Copyright bots and classical musicians are fighting online. The bots are winning.

"“We built these systems around the presumption that everybody is either: A, a pirate, or B, should be a copyright expert,” Rose says.

As it stands, the relationship between classical musicians and copyright bots is a study in contradictions, as newborn technologies police music that has been with us for centuries and individual musicians battle back against the indifference of massive corporations.

But this unhealthy dynamic also presents a consequential conundrum in terms of how the arts engage with social media as they grow more and more dependent on each other."
