“Is AI the New Gold Rush? Discover How Copyright Licensing is Transforming the Creative Landscape!”
Many stakeholders believe that the market should be allowed to decide. A precedent exists in the music industry: although digital music services have taken licenses with record labels and recording artists individually, independent artist distributors (TuneCore, CD Baby), independent label licensing entities (Merlin), and various collective management organizations have emerged to streamline the process.
Both US courts and Congress may consider the ease of AI licensing in determining whether to require it. There is ample time. It took 73 years – from the invention of sound-recording technology in 1888 to the Rome Convention in 1961 — for international law to confer copyright protection on sound recordings, and 10 years longer in the US. Even as technology advances at warp speed, the market and the law will both take time to sort out the AI challenge.
