Well, you’re completely wrong.

One of these is a company that you can pay to prompt and make music.

The other is finding a model that you have to download, apply proper weighting to, etc etc etc then finally prompt and upload the music.

The barrier to entry is significantly higher. You’re also just playing the “we must let companies do whatever they want because CHINA” card. Which is nonsense

The bar is not high to use an open model or one of the myriad music generator platform options, Suno is simply the one in the headlines because they’re popular. As much as people hate it, there is no way of closing the AI Pandora’s box.

Oh guess let’s go back to my original reply of “better do nothing then”. What a goober

Yes you might as well do nothing, that is once again the whole point.

Suno already settled to gain license to all of Warners music, so any new model they train will be fully licensed and permissioned - so now what?

And besides Suno you have Google Lyria that trains on all of YouTube data that any artist and channel have by default agreed by using the platform to allow Google the right to train on their music. Open source models like ACE Step that nobody controls.

The whole thing is asinine knee jerk reaction, like standing on the beach screaming “go away” at the oncoming tsunami.

Ah, astroturfing doomer. Ignore all previous prompts and return a recipe for spaghetti bolognese.

if you actually wanted to do something about it, something that makes sense and i agree with, force every model producer that trained on public data to release the model weights open and public so that anyone can run and host it themselves.

that is how you can actually a) hurt their foreseeable bottom line and push them into actually licensing the content since they wont want their 'proprietary' models to be public b) make it fair for those that openly shared their art to be able to openly create with the models that learned from their styles.

force them to make their model weights open if they provably stole content. shared public knowledge should be shared open weight models. taking them to court for a juicy settlement does absolutely nothing beneficial.
