I mean, they had to pay over a billion dollars to settle that to all of the authors.

And they also had to physically purchase every single book in the world, basically, that a robot to rip the front covers off and took a picture of every single page and uploaded it to a giant data set, which the, you know, basically was found that that's, that is a legal way to train AI models, if you buy the actual book, but pirating it was not.

So I mean, I guess that comes down to like, did Suno purchase a copy of every single song in the world?

Or did they just pirate it?

I'm not going to speculate on their training data and anything else, but they are getting sued.

and their model is way better.

So I know that is like, doesn't make a lot of people happy to hear, but as a user, that's basically where I would go.

And I think where a lot of people will go for creating music.

So maybe Google finds a better way to do this.

And that's a beautiful revolution and artists get compensated.

I'll also say there's a lot of, I think things are changing and even Suno is going to have to change up and fix some of those mistakes in the future.

One thing that I've noticed a lot of organizations are doing

One music distributor in particular I use called Lander has a banner at the top of your account when you log in that now says opt in to get compensated for AI training.

And so you're, you know, as an artist, you can agree to have your music used by AI models to train and you get some sort of compensation and payment for that.

So I think we'll see a lot of that in the future and we'll sort out a lot of these kind of problems and lawsuits.

And eventually, I mean, every artist is going to be many, many artists will be using AI to help assist in their music creation process in one way or another.

And I think that they will opt in for monetization.

I think all the models will just kind of get that extra library.

But for the time being, it seems like Suno and Yudio kind of have a head start due to their training data.

All right.
