Terrence O'Brien, The Verge; A folk musician became a target for AI fakes and a copyright troll
"The worlds of generative AI, music distribution, and copyright are complex with multiple points of failure and opportunities for abuse."
"In January, 2014, I took part in a debate with Ben Sheffner (VP of MPAA) at the Copyright Society in New York City. We were discussing Copyright and the Changing Political environment in Washington, DC... Madison ominously warned that all monopolies, including copyright, must be “guarded with strictness agst abuse.” Abuse is precisely what we have seen, copyright terms have been expanded by 580%."
