Hi Brian! I posted this on another thread:

"Time to come clean Brian. No, I'm still against AI platforms creating music. But... for the last year I've been receiving quarterly payments for my music used by AI. Until this quarter payment, they have been around the $80 range. My current payment was $1,200. Yes, big surprise. No idea what tracks, or what kind of usage (I don't want to know). My wife asked me "well do you feel differently about AI?". I told her not in the least. My compensation or lack of, I no longer have control of. But I'll still be making music at my piano using pen & manuscript. They can't take that pleasure away from me."

Best, John
