You apparently don't know much about how things really work. I have battled these people directly. I got a standing ovation in Washington D.C. at an open hearing when I pointed out that the RIAA and other people negotiating for digital royalties claimed they represented 80% of writers and artists, but I pointed out the ACTUAL math that in truth it is less than 1%. By example, I used just our 125K members at the time and how at the same time, the sum total of EVERY SINGLE artist those "negotiation" actually represented was under 1K. And JPF is a literal drop in the bucket of worldwide music makers. Yet, these politicians would NOT give a voice or representation to the ACTUAL collective of music creators who these laws and rates forever effect. They literally were left speechless in response while the audience erupted in a long ovation.

The reality is these power players know 100% it is a scam, yet they do it because their influence and money allows it to. The reality of A.I. music training is that most of it happened with indie content on Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, YouTube and Tik Tok. But, the truth is that humans learn just the way A.I. does. They listen to OTHER creators, mimic their styles and sounds and process them in THEIR computer (their brain) and spit it back out through the filter of their talent and intent. A.I. does much the same. It's a blender of all those approaches. Then common points of style and approach inform their output. There is ZERO way to demonstrate which, if any, songs are being infringed on, unless an ACTUAL infringement occurs. But the A.I. is trained NOT to copy any specific song lyric or melody. Ironically, it is better at NOT infringing on copyrights than humans are.

Good luck to anyone trying to prove infringement by an A.I. because in truth, ALL music is a copy of the sum of what came before, either by direct influence, or cumulative influence. EVERYTHING infringes in the same way A.I. infringes.

This is the same argument of a synth playing a violin sounds versus a human. In this case it is a computer algorithm writing production of music verses a human doing it. The influences are simply wider and more inclusive than the normal human.

Elites and Corporations have power and that level of power is corrupt. It exploits humans at every turn to accumulate power and wealth. Politicians allowing such interests to set rates or laws for EVERYONE which ALWAYS directly benefit ONLY their interests over all others is 100% corrupt. It is neither Democracy or what should be allowed by OUR Government, a constitutional Republic. So yes, Elites are by nature, corrupt. Corporations are by nature ALSO corrupted, some worse than others. Individuals should be given the power of 1. Corporations should receive ZERO power from government, but that is not what happens. It is also why we are 36+ trillion in unpayable debt where over 1 trillion in interest are going to corrupt bankers who immorally have power over our monetary system plus all the corrupt politicians who allow it to continue. It IS us versus THEM. "the man" is the shorthand for this corruption. It IS a conspiracy because more than 1 party has conspired to achieve and use this immoral and corrupt power.
