“Suno, for those of you not familiar, is an #AI #SongGenerator: enter a text prompt (such as “a jazz, reggae, EDM pop song about my imagination”) and a song comes back. Like many #GenerativeAI companies, it is also being sued by all and sundry for ingesting #copyrighted #material. The parties in the suit — including major labels and the #RIAA — don’t have a smoking gun, since they can’t directly peek at Suno’s #TrainingData. But they have managed to generate some suspiciously similar-sounding AI generated materials, #mimicking (among others) “Johnny B. Goode,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and Jason Derulo’s habit of singing his own name.

#Suno essentially admits these songs were #regurgitated from #copyrighted source material, but it says such use was legal. “It is no secret that the tens of millions of #recordings that Suno’s model was trained on presumably included recordings whose rights are owned by the Plaintiffs in this case,” it says in its own legal filing. Whether AI training data constitutes fair use is a common but unsettled legal argument, and the plaintiffs contend Suno still amounts to “pervasive #illegal #copying” of artists’ works.”

🎥 On commence déjà la mise à disposition des captations des #JdLL2025 sur videos-libr.es/ sur le compte @jdll@videos-libr.es !

Vous les retrouverez petit-à-petit dans les jours qui viennent. Le délai de mise à disposition s'est largement raccourci par rapport aux précédentes éditions. Merci à Netfreaks pour leur aide pour les captations de l’amphithéâtre, au @fosdem pour le matériel pour le reste des salles et aux bénévoles qui travaillent sur le sujet !

Join the Physical Media Revolution!

I’ve finally stumbled upon a cost- and effort-efficient way to offer my music in the form of physical media!

Currently, I have a couple albums and some EPs available as CDs. There will be more coming in the near future, and I hope to include Vinyl as an option eventually (as of right now, my albums are too long to fit on the vinyl LP this distributor offers, but they hope to offer longer ones in the future…).

Ordering physical media like CDs not only allows you to actually OWN your music, but you also get lovely album artwork and liner notes in tangible form!

Check out this page for my current and all future offerings!

“The #recordings that #burned 🔥up in the Universal fire — like the songs that are blasting from car windows on the street outside your home, like all the records that you or I or anyone else has ever heard — represent a wonderment that we have come to take for granted.

For most of human history, every word spoken, every song sung, was by definition ephemeral: Air vibrated and sound traveled in and out of earshot, never to be heard again.

But #technology gave #humanity the means to catch sounds, to transform a soprano’s warble, a violin’s trill, #ChuckBerry’s blaring guitar, into something permanent and repeatable, a sonic artifact to which listeners can return again and again.”
