AI Music Creators Will Be EXPOSED

0:00 Be careful if you use AI samples. Be careful if you use AI music platforms. Fingerprinting, think of it as content ID, actually identifying your songs that are made using AI. I'm just really worried about is this is going to destroy artist privacy, independence, trust. You need to understand this is happening. So, you're using AI in the creation of your music, either the entire creation of the music or just as a tool. You need to watch this video cuz you might be thinking, "Well, what's the big deal? Who's going to know?" Well, apparently everyone might know your real suit. Udio and Audible Magic are teaming up to tackle rights management in AI generated music. Udio, an AI music

0:45 startup facing ongoing litigation from major record labels alongside its competitors, has struck a new partnership with content identification platform Audible Magic. Guys, here's what's happening. Audible Magic and UDO are going to be actually fingerprinting. Think of it as Content ID. So, you know, Content ID and the chaos that it causes on YouTube. So, now there's going to be fingerprinting for your songs created on this platform. And I really want to be careful about my breakdown of why this is going to impact you. Because if you're making your entire song on the platform or you are making a piece of your song on this platform, it doesn't matter. The final output that is created is now going to have this little fingerprint saying your song was created

1:31 on Ude. So, New York based UIO on Tuesday said it will integrate Audible Magic's audio fingerprinting and content identification tech directly into its generative music platform. Audible Music is a Californiabased company that provides content identification services to social networks, record labels, music publishers, and TV and movie studios. The move creates what the companies call a quote content control pipeline that allows streaming services and distributors to identify AI generated tracks from Udio's platform and apply appropriate licensing rules. If you guys remember, we covered this with Daer. So Daer on a music streaming platform is the first to do this. But we care

2:17 because we go as soon as Spotify does this, as soon as Apple Music does this and that the this is Daer is actually identifying your songs that are made using AI and I just go from a disclosure standpoint if you don't want people knowing that or maybe it's not totally accurate. That's where it pops up for me and I go, well, what if someone just uses one of these platforms such as Udio for a part of the creation process? That's what I'm getting at. So if the instrumental was yours, if the lyrics was yours and you popped it in for an assist with a melody for example, or some variation of that, the final platform that it's on, if it's saying that this is an AI generated song, or now with what they're saying, they're actually going to put this

3:03 fingerprinting on the final song the second you create it. For UIO, the partnership appears to be an attempt to address concerns about unauthorized use and rights management in AI music creation. Almost a year ago, a group of well, the majors, Sony, Universal, Warner, they all filed lawsuits against UIO and Sunno alleging that both companies trained their AI systems on copyrighted recordings without permission. And in fact, Udo and Sunno, they argued it was fair use, but they admitted that's exactly what they did. But they go, "It's fair use and therefore we can't be held liable for copyright infringement." So they go, "It's fair use is exempted by the US copyright law." Basically, you're just trying to stop us from competing. Quote, "Working with Audible Magic allows us to

3:51 create a transparent signal in the music supply chain," said co-founder, Andrew Sanchez. By fingerprinting at the point of generation, we're helping to establish a new benchmark for accountability and clarity in the age of generative music. We believe that this partnership will open the door for new licensing structures and monetization pathways that will benefit stakeholders across the industry from artists to rights holders blah blah blah. So, I hear you on just being like, we want to create transparency, but couple of things are coming to mind on this. I mean, they're effectively fingerprinting and registering your music based on their own terms, right? So, not that you have the right to opt into this or to opt out of this and to be like, no, I'm

4:37 good. I don't want you tracking my music because I go, what happens with creatives who are just using this platform to experiment, right? And I was just thinking of this. I'm like, it's almost like you're being recorded without your knowledge and and you're like, it's being marked as protection, but that's not quite what it is. is. So I go from an anonymity standpoint or from a you don't want your entire thing to be marked as like AI generated because maybe it's not. And even if you are let's say an AI artist and so you're making your entire song on this platform again from a your privacy and your whether you want this disclosed or not that's no longer going to be your decision ultimately in this supply chain. So I'm just really worried about is this is going to destroy artist privacy, independence, trust. If you're needing legal help with your career,

We offer free case evaluations, which just means that you can give us a call. You can email us. No commitment. We'll just see how we can help. We look forward to hearing from you. We talk about this for our music producers who are using these platforms to create samples. How's that going to look to you, right? If someone sees your stuff on these music platforms, says that you're an AI producer. Essentially, you might be a music creator that is using these AI platforms as a tool. If you do that, here's my big question. You make your song on the AI platform, integrating your humanmade stuff, right? And you get inspiration, let's say for a melody, and then you go and you recreate it. Or maybe it was a guitar riff. You go and now you just recreate it. The question

6:09 here is if you have made it made it on the platform, it has now been assigned a digital fingerprint that is now in the system. That system is now being shared by a lot of these music businesses. And so if you're now in the system, you go and you make your new version and you put it on Spotify, what's going to happen? Are they going to say you're ripping off YO? And we don't know. So going back to the well, what if music platforms are actually tagging you, right? being like your song is AI generated and it's against your will. Right? We talked about that with dieser AI artists also to the extent you're getting exposed without your consent. Do we care about that? Now guys, in this whole realm as far as with AI and your ownership rights on your final product, whether you use AI in its entirety or just as an assist because you're using

6:56 it, let's say, with creating a song around your lyrics or the copyright implications, and I have a legal guide where I've summarized it for you that's free. Click the link down below. Go check that out and just make sure you stay protected. And I also give you a guide on how to file to get your own copyright registration for your song that was generated using AI. And the other thing that came to mind is we're talking about Universal's hostile takeover of the music business is I go, well, we know this. We know that these record labels are working on their own AI tech. And I know that they also have deals, let's say, with the music platforms like Spotify. And so I go, well, are they going to work some kind of deal to push platforms to suppress or downgrade AI? Because we saw that happen, right? These platforms either

7:43 are or they're working towards with AI created music to not pay royalties. This is the other big piece here. If you again are even mistakenly, and that's what I'm going to call it. If you are using an AI platform to get inspiration, right? You're just trying out things. Maybe you kind of took a melody. Maybe there's a small piece that ended up in your final recorded thing, but you came up with the entire song having your song digitized with a fingerprint and then maybe even marked as an AI created song on music platforms. Well, what about your royalties? If these music platforms are going, "Well, we really want to make sure that original humanmade stuff is protected. Those are the ones that are collecting the music royalties on these platforms." Well, then that means you now aren't going to be able to collect

8:28 royalties on your songs. This is what is happening so unbelievably quickly. And then I also go, we're talking about digital fingerprinting. That's permanent. So again, on the whole, you know, at some point, do you want this traceable back to you? This is all the stuff that's coming to my mind immediately and making me real nervous about not just now Yo, that's saying they already did this deal. They're rolling this out. It's coming. Okay. If you're going to use a music AI generative platform to assist with your music creation process in any kind of way, you need to understand this is happening. But on the flip side, well, they're saying this is going to be a good thing, right? This is going to create transparency. We have a way to connect and figure out who created the thing in the beginning. But again, you can't opt out. You certainly can't opt

9:15 in. All right. So, UIO says its approach creates a registry of fingerprinted works at the creation point rather than after distribution when users generate tracks using platform. Each composition will be automatically registered with Audible's magic ID system, creating a signal that follows the track throughout the digital supply chain. This is very similar to I call it a barcode. When you distribute your music, your distributor assigns an ISRC number. Okay? So, it's like a barcode that is put with your song. It's a good thing, right? Because we can track the streams. If we ever need to move your song from Drok Kid over to Symbonic, we don't lose the streams cuz we just take the music down, we put it back up on the new

10:01 distributor, and we give them that same ISRC number. This is kind of similar in that way in that they're like, "This is now a digital fingerprint that's going to follow this song around forever." So, it's creating a signal that follows the track throughout the digital supply chain, quote, by addressing distribution risks headon and contributing to a more transparent digital supply chain. Udio is setting a new industry standard for how AI and music can coexist responsibly. The CEO of Audible Magic said the partnership demonstrates UDIO's substantial commitment to rights holder transparency and contents providence. Quote, "Rgistering files directly from the firstparty source is a clean and robust way to identify the use of AI

10:48 generated music in the supply chain. The integration will roll out over the coming months. According to the companies, Audible Magic has provided content identification for over 25 years. The startup says it's developed Emmy award-winning tech that powers content recognition for major music digital platforms. Be careful if you use AI samples.
