  • 00:00:00
    what's the AI learning from is it really
  • 00:00:02
    original and that's like part of the big
  • 00:00:04
    problem AI is learning from the stuff
  • 00:00:06
    that was made by humans do you legally
  • 00:00:08
    own the stuff that you make using AI do
  • 00:00:11
    you have copyright protection these are
  • 00:00:13
    the bigger questions that I haven't seen
  • 00:00:15
    anyone answer and I'm a music attorney
  • 00:00:17
    so I'm going to talk about it today
  • 00:00:19
    while I'm going to focus on udio
  • 00:00:21
    specifically which is right now just
  • 00:00:23
    everyone is so excited about this
  • 00:00:25
    platform its capabilities I mean people
  • 00:00:27
    are just freaking out and it's allegedly
  • 00:00:29
    better than soon know and we're going to
  • 00:00:30
    go through its terms of service and I'm
  • 00:00:32
    going to possibly accidentally kind of
  • 00:00:35
    expose them a little bit what I'm trying
  • 00:00:38
    to do is have a bigger conversation and
  • 00:00:39
    to walk you guys through how this works
  • 00:00:41
    so that when you make music if you make
  • 00:00:43
    music in any kind of way from this
  • 00:00:45
    platform or AI in general and then you
  • 00:00:47
    release it and then you sell it what do
  • 00:00:49
    you need to know so you can stay legally
  • 00:00:52
    protected in their terms of service they
  • 00:00:54
    kind of reveal what is coming and right
  • 00:00:56
    now for the beta version and the stuff
  • 00:00:58
    that it does it's really amazing but
  • 00:01:00
    what I kind of accidentally uncovered as
  • 00:01:02
    part of the things that I accidentally
  • 00:01:03
    uncovered looking into this is what
  • 00:01:06
    they're going to be doing which I'm
  • 00:01:07
    going to walk you through so where I
  • 00:01:09
    thought I would kind of start with this
  • 00:01:10
    and let me share my screen udio it's
  • 00:01:13
    funny I actually went to their website
  • 00:01:14
    and I was trying to you know because I
  • 00:01:17
    haven't actually used the product yet
  • 00:01:18
    but I'm like preparing for this video
  • 00:01:19
    I'm like all right let's whatever I went
  • 00:01:21
    to the website and my virus protection
  • 00:01:23
    was like don't go to this website it's
  • 00:01:25
    terrible I don't know why I don't know
  • 00:01:27
    why but I just ignored it and I got on
  • 00:01:29
    the platform from I use it so where I
  • 00:01:30
    want to stop start is with just the the
  • 00:01:32
    question in regards to copyright because
  • 00:01:34
    this is what you guys are concerned
  • 00:01:35
    about you go if I make the the thing on
  • 00:01:37
    this platform in any kind of way do I
  • 00:01:39
    own the copyright in the song that I
  • 00:01:42
    created and so this came out in March of
  • 00:01:45
    20123 and so basically the copyright
  • 00:01:47
    office was saying that AI is essentially
  • 00:01:51
    being excluded from any possible
  • 00:01:55
    registration that you try to file so if
  • 00:01:57
    we remember under us copyright law when
  • 00:02:00
    you make something when you make
  • 00:02:01
    something you automatically have
  • 00:02:04
    copyright ownership in that thing okay
  • 00:02:06
    that's the beauty of copyright law but
  • 00:02:08
    the copyright office came out and they
  • 00:02:10
    go this policy they they' made a big
  • 00:02:12
    statement they go look we have explained
  • 00:02:14
    that human authorship is required for
  • 00:02:17
    copyright protection and that they will
  • 00:02:19
    refuse to register any Works any music
  • 00:02:22
    right any videos anything that is made
  • 00:02:24
    from Ai and so we go okay so then when
  • 00:02:27
    it comes to just like realistically if
  • 00:02:30
    we can utilize these platforms and I've
  • 00:02:31
    had people ask me in regards to I'm
  • 00:02:33
    using AI to help with my cover art it's
  • 00:02:35
    a great tool I kind of like what it's
  • 00:02:37
    coming up with but what are the reasons
  • 00:02:38
    why I shouldn't do this we're going to
  • 00:02:40
    touch on that but so this is what the
  • 00:02:41
    copyright say they go you're not going
  • 00:02:42
    to own the stuff that is made from Ai
  • 00:02:44
    and we go okay well why is that the
  • 00:02:46
    reason why is under 17 USC Section 102
  • 00:02:49
    this is what it says it goes copyright
  • 00:02:51
    protection subsists in accordance with
  • 00:02:53
    this title and it is required that it be
  • 00:02:56
    an original work of authorship okay so
  • 00:02:59
    an original work work of authorship
  • 00:03:01
    assumes that it's made by a human okay
  • 00:03:03
    and we've had cases litigated about this
  • 00:03:05
    with things that may or may not have
  • 00:03:06
    been made by a machine or a device and
  • 00:03:09
    all of this so we start with just a
  • 00:03:11
    general kind of premise of under
  • 00:03:13
    copyright law great news when you make
  • 00:03:14
    something and put pen to paper you do a
  • 00:03:17
    little voice memo you record in your
  • 00:03:19
    studio you actually have automatic
  • 00:03:21
    copyright great and the reason why we go
  • 00:03:23
    and we register with the copyright
  • 00:03:25
    office is because it's a prerequisite if
  • 00:03:27
    you want to sue someone if you hire me
  • 00:03:29
    and you're like need to assume they
  • 00:03:30
    stole my song you have to have the piece
  • 00:03:31
    of paper that says you actually
  • 00:03:33
    registered with the federal government
  • 00:03:34
    so those are the two steps we keep in
  • 00:03:36
    mind so again if we are using AI in any
  • 00:03:39
    part of the musical development if not
  • 00:03:41
    the entire thing what does that mean for
  • 00:03:44
    you all right so with that being said
  • 00:03:45
    let's bounce on over real quick to udo's
  • 00:03:48
    terms of service all right so last
  • 00:03:51
    revised March 18th 2024 I'm going to
  • 00:03:54
    very specifically focus on a couple of
  • 00:03:56
    things one of which is that they
  • 00:03:57
    identify themselves as Uncharted labs
  • 00:03:59
    Incorporated we're going to keep that in
  • 00:04:01
    the back of our minds because I really
  • 00:04:02
    like to stock out companies I like to
  • 00:04:05
    know where are they who are they who are
  • 00:04:07
    they owned by what are they doing all
  • 00:04:09
    that stuff now in the very beginning of
  • 00:04:11
    this they go hey just a quick heads up
  • 00:04:13
    in section n there is a waiver of class
  • 00:04:16
    action rights there's an arbitration
  • 00:04:18
    Clause just so you know this is coming
  • 00:04:19
    but we do give you the right to opt out
  • 00:04:22
    now I'm G to I'm going to talk about
  • 00:04:23
    this in a sec and I kind of like that
  • 00:04:25
    and I'll explain why but what I really
  • 00:04:27
    want to just hyper focus on is going to
  • 00:04:29
    be there's two things that happen on
  • 00:04:32
    udio right those two things are one you
  • 00:04:35
    get on the platform and you give it some
  • 00:04:37
    kind of instruction you give it some
  • 00:04:39
    kind of prompt and pursuant to the terms
  • 00:04:42
    it says this is defined as input content
  • 00:04:45
    right so the services will allow you to
  • 00:04:46
    prompt direct and to provide other
  • 00:04:50
    content this is how we know that there's
  • 00:04:52
    other stuff coming from this platform
  • 00:04:54
    which may include lyrics and audio files
  • 00:04:57
    as inputs which is collectively defined
  • 00:04:59
    as input content so that's one of the
  • 00:05:01
    things that are happening here the next
  • 00:05:03
    thing that happens here is that it's
  • 00:05:04
    going to generate stuff for you it's
  • 00:05:06
    going to generate sound recordings
  • 00:05:07
    musical composition lyrics text visual
  • 00:05:10
    content so then this is defined as the
  • 00:05:12
    output now one thing that I kind of want
  • 00:05:13
    to keep in mind is that they go on to
  • 00:05:16
    say for the stuff that you put into US
  • 00:05:18
    plus the stuff that pops out so the
  • 00:05:21
    input and the output content you give us
  • 00:05:25
    rights to use so it says you acknowledge
  • 00:05:27
    and agree that we may use your input
  • 00:05:30
    content and output to train or otherwise
  • 00:05:33
    improve our services now as we go
  • 00:05:35
    through this you I'm going to point out
  • 00:05:37
    all the places where it talks about how
  • 00:05:39
    you know you might provide third party
  • 00:05:41
    material or material to it and I go
  • 00:05:43
    right now from what I can see there's no
  • 00:05:45
    way to like upload a track because I had
  • 00:05:47
    that thought I'm like well what if I
  • 00:05:48
    make a great instrumental and I want it
  • 00:05:49
    to help me write a Topline I understand
  • 00:05:51
    there's different platforms that do that
  • 00:05:53
    but specifically with this one I go well
  • 00:05:54
    it doesn't look like you can do it it's
  • 00:05:56
    more of you just give it prompts I want
  • 00:05:58
    this kind of thing with this kind of
  • 00:05:59
    vocal and this kind of styling and it
  • 00:06:01
    could you know pop out a great song so
  • 00:06:03
    the services may allow you to download
  • 00:06:05
    copies of another user's output so
  • 00:06:08
    someone else who makes a song or more
  • 00:06:10
    importantly if you make a song someone
  • 00:06:12
    else can download what you made your
  • 00:06:15
    output and similarly Others May download
  • 00:06:18
    copies of your output you may only use
  • 00:06:20
    another output for personal and
  • 00:06:22
    non-commercial purposes and you can only
  • 00:06:26
    do it you know as far as actually
  • 00:06:28
    utilizing someone else's song with their
  • 00:06:30
    consent so again this goes back to from
  • 00:06:32
    what currently you can use the platform
  • 00:06:34
    for I don't see that this is in any kind
  • 00:06:36
    of place there's no like Community I can
  • 00:06:38
    go to right um or post my song publicly
  • 00:06:41
    so that it would be shared but I think
  • 00:06:43
    that's that's coming but just so you
  • 00:06:45
    know whenever you were watching this
  • 00:06:48
    that anything that you make on this
  • 00:06:50
    platform not only may be re-produced by
  • 00:06:54
    someone else so if you're like oh I'm
  • 00:06:56
    going to sneakily like make my music on
  • 00:06:58
    this platform and release it and no
  • 00:06:59
    one's ever going to know what they
  • 00:07:01
    actually say in their terms is that
  • 00:07:03
    someone may put in the combination of
  • 00:07:04
    things that you put in and the exact
  • 00:07:06
    same song may get spit out for someone
  • 00:07:08
    else so just from a kind of you know how
  • 00:07:11
    you want to play this keep that in mind
  • 00:07:13
    they do set forth a bunch of stuff in
  • 00:07:14
    here and they're just like look you
  • 00:07:16
    can't reverse engineer our platform you
  • 00:07:18
    can't learn how to do what we're doing
  • 00:07:20
    and all that but also from the stuff
  • 00:07:21
    that you make here's the things that
  • 00:07:23
    we're just going to kick you off the
  • 00:07:24
    platform for you know stuff that's
  • 00:07:25
    defamatory obscene pornographic it
  • 00:07:28
    violates privacy it's harassing
  • 00:07:30
    threatening so they say this a bunch of
  • 00:07:31
    times all right that's all fine you know
  • 00:07:33
    you have to be at least 13 years of age
  • 00:07:35
    to use the platform where I kind of want
  • 00:07:37
    to jump in is with Section I think it
  • 00:07:38
    was six so go all the way down oh yeah
  • 00:07:41
    this made me laugh so they go the beta
  • 00:07:43
    offerings are as is and they say a
  • 00:07:44
    couple times or like if you get a bug on
  • 00:07:46
    your computer because of us that's on
  • 00:07:48
    you all right so six ownership and
  • 00:07:51
    content so we go back to all right if
  • 00:07:53
    you use this platform the stuff that is
  • 00:07:56
    generated that you do not already own
  • 00:07:58
    you don't Magic own it so you might be
  • 00:08:01
    thinking you're like well if we said
  • 00:08:02
    under copyright law that authorship is
  • 00:08:05
    when you you know fix an idea into a
  • 00:08:07
    tangible medium wasn't it my idea to put
  • 00:08:10
    together all of these great things these
  • 00:08:12
    great descriptors like it wouldn't have
  • 00:08:14
    come up with this thing except for me
  • 00:08:16
    telling it what to do so doesn't that
  • 00:08:17
    entitle me to the copyright under the
  • 00:08:19
    law the answer is no your input was so
  • 00:08:21
    minimal and it's basically just
  • 00:08:23
    disregarded so you don't have copyright
  • 00:08:24
    so we're keeping that in mind but it
  • 00:08:25
    still goes back to the question of well
  • 00:08:27
    you're going to use this stuff for what
  • 00:08:29
    something right it's not just this
  • 00:08:30
    platform and so then it's well if you do
  • 00:08:32
    use it and then you sell it or you
  • 00:08:34
    stream it or you do these things how
  • 00:08:36
    does that potentially backfire on you so
  • 00:08:39
    here in section six they go here's all
  • 00:08:41
    stuff in regards to ownership and
  • 00:08:43
    content using this specific platform so
  • 00:08:46
    whenever you know pertains to the
  • 00:08:48
    services they Define their platform with
  • 00:08:51
    the look and feel so example meaning
  • 00:08:54
    text Graphics images logos as
  • 00:08:56
    proprietary content information and
  • 00:08:58
    other material
  • 00:09:00
    and any technology use for any output
  • 00:09:02
    this is our copyrighted stuff these are
  • 00:09:04
    our trademarks this is our IP I'm a
  • 00:09:06
    trademark attorney I'm a copyright
  • 00:09:08
    attorney so I know how to look this
  • 00:09:09
    stuff up I was like hm you say that
  • 00:09:11
    you're a trademark owner let's take a
  • 00:09:13
    look so I went on the trademark office
  • 00:09:15
    website and I did a little search so
  • 00:09:18
    this is their filing right here on the
  • 00:09:20
    right and so you can see they filed for
  • 00:09:23
    the trademark udio in the class of nine
  • 00:09:26
    as well as the class of 42 we know that
  • 00:09:29
    because remember we said it was
  • 00:09:30
    Uncharted labs and so they are
  • 00:09:31
    registered in Delaware now just so you
  • 00:09:33
    guys know the reason why a lot of
  • 00:09:35
    companies register in Delaware there's
  • 00:09:37
    many of reasons but sometimes they do it
  • 00:09:39
    because you can't look up who owns a
  • 00:09:42
    company in Delaware also Wyoming and so
  • 00:09:45
    sometimes people will register there
  • 00:09:47
    because they don't want anyone knowing
  • 00:09:49
    who the owner is I don't know if that's
  • 00:09:50
    the case here I'm just saying I just
  • 00:09:52
    noticed they are in effect registered in
  • 00:09:54
    Delaware but the other thing I also
  • 00:09:55
    noticed is that there's another udio and
  • 00:09:58
    not only is there another udio which is
  • 00:10:00
    okay we can have trademarks we can have
  • 00:10:02
    trademarks for the exact same name as
  • 00:10:04
    long as that name is in a totally
  • 00:10:06
    different category we call them classes
  • 00:10:08
    so if there is Metallica and Metallica
  • 00:10:11
    does music Metallica Metallica does live
  • 00:10:13
    shows and sells merchandise so they have
  • 00:10:15
    all these categories but there could be
  • 00:10:17
    Metallica I'm trying to think of
  • 00:10:19
    something that' be so unrelated I don't
  • 00:10:20
    know knitting there's Metallica knitting
  • 00:10:22
    services or something like that that
  • 00:10:24
    actually is okay so there's an udio in
  • 00:10:26
    class 42 and there's a udio here right
  • 00:10:29
    right in class 42 so they actually do
  • 00:10:31
    the same thing and I go okay that's
  • 00:10:32
    interesting so I look at the owners okay
  • 00:10:34
    so here in the owners it goes this udio
  • 00:10:36
    which is registered meaning this person
  • 00:10:39
    this company already got this trademark
  • 00:10:41
    and it's owned by udio systems LTD
  • 00:10:44
    proprietary limited company which is
  • 00:10:45
    based in Australia and so I go did we
  • 00:10:48
    just uncover that the owner of udio is
  • 00:10:51
    based in Australia or is this really a
  • 00:10:52
    different company because one of two
  • 00:10:54
    things is happening here either the
  • 00:10:56
    attorney for udio the AI music Creator
  • 00:11:00
    didn't do their research to see that
  • 00:11:01
    there's another registration in the
  • 00:11:02
    exact same class which is going to be
  • 00:11:04
    very problematic they're not going to
  • 00:11:06
    get it or this is actually the same
  • 00:11:07
    company anyway let's move on just to
  • 00:11:09
    show you guys what this looks like so it
  • 00:11:10
    shows class n so this is what the AI
  • 00:11:13
    udio applied for so class 9 so they go
  • 00:11:16
    for nine we do computer software we have
  • 00:11:18
    downloadable AI software apps for
  • 00:11:21
    discovering creating storing music and
  • 00:11:23
    then class 42 so this is AI software for
  • 00:11:27
    discovering creating generating storing
  • 00:11:28
    music that
  • 00:11:30
    okay we're fine with all of that we're
  • 00:11:31
    just kind of curious about some of that
  • 00:11:32
    additional information and then also the
  • 00:11:35
    udio that we're talking about the terms
  • 00:11:36
    of service here's kind of the backd door
  • 00:11:38
    stuff you guys don't get to see which is
  • 00:11:40
    they filed this in March so just a month
  • 00:11:43
    ago so they are just brand new on all
  • 00:11:46
    things they're brand new on filing for
  • 00:11:47
    their trademark so back to the terms of
  • 00:11:49
    service so they go look in regards to
  • 00:11:51
    our copyrights in regards to how we do
  • 00:11:54
    stuff on this platform it's our
  • 00:11:55
    proprietary stuff you can't come and
  • 00:11:57
    reverse engineer our stuff otherwise
  • 00:11:59
    you're going to get into trouble fine no
  • 00:12:00
    problem what we care about more than
  • 00:12:02
    anything is for the output as it's
  • 00:12:05
    defined here how does it affect you if
  • 00:12:08
    you use it all right so moving on 6.3
  • 00:12:10
    your content in connection with your use
  • 00:12:13
    of the services you may be able to post
  • 00:12:16
    upload or submit the content and other
  • 00:12:20
    information owned and controlled by you
  • 00:12:21
    such as your input content which again
  • 00:12:24
    guys remember we were just talking about
  • 00:12:25
    this and we're like it's not just the
  • 00:12:27
    instructions that you give this platform
  • 00:12:29
    but it actually does Define that you may
  • 00:12:31
    it you may be able to upload stuff onto
  • 00:12:33
    this platform at some point and they
  • 00:12:35
    covered this at length to be like hey in
  • 00:12:38
    regards to the stuff that you upload
  • 00:12:39
    onto our our platform you agree you own
  • 00:12:41
    it this isn't like infringe stuff from
  • 00:12:43
    someone else so that's why I'm like I
  • 00:12:45
    think that's where this platform is
  • 00:12:46
    going which is going to be really
  • 00:12:48
    interesting because now it's this idea
  • 00:12:50
    of merging your original stuff with the
  • 00:12:53
    AI component which is going to make this
  • 00:12:55
    so complicated legally and from the
  • 00:12:57
    standpoint of of copyright but anyway so
  • 00:12:59
    as between you and the company company
  • 00:13:02
    does not claim ownership in what you
  • 00:13:04
    make I was like Ah that's interesting so
  • 00:13:06
    the company does not claim ownership in
  • 00:13:08
    your content so anything you give to the
  • 00:13:11
    platform including any output so any
  • 00:13:13
    stuff any songs that you create which
  • 00:13:15
    are generated by you in response to the
  • 00:13:18
    submission of your input content to the
  • 00:13:20
    services provided to the company its
  • 00:13:22
    Affiliates all people that work you know
  • 00:13:24
    there own the services and the
  • 00:13:26
    technology itself okay we're fine with
  • 00:13:28
    that you may may use your output for
  • 00:13:30
    both this is so important this is the
  • 00:13:32
    big question here how can you use what
  • 00:13:34
    you make this is what they say you can
  • 00:13:36
    use the music that you make for both
  • 00:13:40
    personal and Commercial purposes and we
  • 00:13:43
    permit you to download a copy of the
  • 00:13:44
    output that consists of an audio file
  • 00:13:46
    for such purposes so at least as it
  • 00:13:49
    relates to the question of if you make
  • 00:13:52
    something and then you want to sell it
  • 00:13:54
    right because you know we'll we'll we'll
  • 00:13:55
    talk about all the ways that we think
  • 00:13:57
    this is going to impact a lot of
  • 00:13:58
    people's jobs in the music business but
  • 00:14:01
    if you generate music for a film and
  • 00:14:04
    then you sell or put on music platforms
  • 00:14:06
    right a soundtrack for the film you make
  • 00:14:09
    a song you put the song on your album
  • 00:14:11
    like all this stuff pursuant to at least
  • 00:14:13
    this contract these terms of services
  • 00:14:16
    you are okay to do that from a legal
  • 00:14:18
    standpoint that's one thing we at least
  • 00:14:19
    have Clarity on now in order to operate
  • 00:14:21
    the services we may need to obtain from
  • 00:14:24
    you certain license rights in your
  • 00:14:26
    content that actions we take in the
  • 00:14:29
    operating I'm sorry I'm saying that
  • 00:14:30
    weird in your content so that actions we
  • 00:14:34
    take in operating the services are not
  • 00:14:37
    considered legal violation so that's
  • 00:14:38
    another place we're seeing in regards to
  • 00:14:41
    your content I'm thinking they're going
  • 00:14:43
    to have you you know be able to upload
  • 00:14:46
    some of your stuff onto this platform
  • 00:14:47
    and I don't see why that would be a
  • 00:14:48
    logical progression I literally had that
  • 00:14:50
    thought I go what if I just put my
  • 00:14:52
    instrumental because producers do all
  • 00:14:54
    this all the time right and we go this
  • 00:14:55
    would be one of the jobs that's going to
  • 00:14:56
    get affected right so one of my clients
  • 00:14:59
    she gets hired to do top lines for
  • 00:15:01
    producers right so she comes up with the
  • 00:15:03
    words she comes up with The Melodies and
  • 00:15:05
    stuff like that and other platforms do
  • 00:15:06
    this it's just will this platform do it
  • 00:15:08
    it kind of seems that they're going to
  • 00:15:10
    all right so you grant to us and all of
  • 00:15:12
    our you know Associates we can reproduce
  • 00:15:15
    transmit publish display and modify your
  • 00:15:18
    content to operate improve and promote
  • 00:15:20
    the services so this is just meaning
  • 00:15:22
    they can study your stuff right so the
  • 00:15:25
    AI can learn from what you upload to the
  • 00:15:29
    platform which kind of goes back to my
  • 00:15:30
    whole as you guys are making music on
  • 00:15:33
    these platforms and then selling it or
  • 00:15:35
    Distributing it and also how it can be
  • 00:15:37
    used not only by this platform but by
  • 00:15:41
    other people on the platform so that's
  • 00:15:43
    where we're paying attention to stuff
  • 00:15:44
    where it's like you give us the right to
  • 00:15:48
    promote your content your output the
  • 00:15:51
    stuff that you make on this platform so
  • 00:15:52
    don't think that you know at least as of
  • 00:15:54
    now that what you're doing is going to
  • 00:15:56
    be kept completely private and that no
  • 00:15:58
    one's going to know or that someone's
  • 00:15:59
    not going to come up with the exact same
  • 00:16:01
    thing that you came up with we're going
  • 00:16:03
    to do all these things including we can
  • 00:16:04
    reproduce we said this publish we can
  • 00:16:06
    distribute your output based on your
  • 00:16:08
    input content so right if you uploaded
  • 00:16:10
    something at some point also the
  • 00:16:12
    instructions you gave it to train or
  • 00:16:14
    otherwise improve or modify our
  • 00:16:15
    artificial intelligence for clarity this
  • 00:16:17
    grant of right includes a grant of All
  • 00:16:19
    rights necessary for company and our
  • 00:16:21
    Affiliates successors assigns right so
  • 00:16:23
    all the people that work with us to be
  • 00:16:24
    able to do the same thing that's
  • 00:16:26
    essentially what it is so and we not
  • 00:16:28
    only that but we can do it in any media
  • 00:16:30
    now knowing or here after developed in
  • 00:16:33
    regards to monetizing right so if we
  • 00:16:35
    want to make money from it if we want to
  • 00:16:36
    promote it if we want to Market it so
  • 00:16:38
    they go on to basically just be like
  • 00:16:39
    look understand that there's a couple
  • 00:16:41
    things that are going to happen here one
  • 00:16:43
    is and this is a big one okay so we're
  • 00:16:46
    going to get to this where they say in
  • 00:16:48
    in regards to credit you have to tell
  • 00:16:51
    the public that you're using this
  • 00:16:53
    platform do I think all of you are going
  • 00:16:54
    to do that no do I think that even some
  • 00:16:57
    people ethically feel
  • 00:16:59
    okay using this platform because they're
  • 00:17:01
    like and we'll talk about this but
  • 00:17:02
    pursuant to this contract which is what
  • 00:17:04
    this is if you use this platform you are
  • 00:17:06
    required to give credit and say I use
  • 00:17:09
    this platform and then guess what udio
  • 00:17:12
    is going to repost it or they reserve
  • 00:17:13
    the right to repost it and be like oh my
  • 00:17:14
    gosh this big song it was made using our
  • 00:17:17
    platform and of course they would but
  • 00:17:19
    you give them the right pursuant to
  • 00:17:21
    these terms to do that so as part of the
  • 00:17:23
    forgoing license you grant to us the
  • 00:17:26
    right to also comment to tag to publish
  • 00:17:28
    to display to copy and also to create
  • 00:17:31
    like little derivative works we can do
  • 00:17:32
    it for any reason we can do it for
  • 00:17:34
    advertising by posting and submitting
  • 00:17:36
    your content through the services you
  • 00:17:38
    represent warrant that you have all
  • 00:17:40
    necessary rights okay so this is where
  • 00:17:42
    it's going to get really muddy we have
  • 00:17:44
    um so many problems already with people
  • 00:17:46
    who utilize music distribute music sell
  • 00:17:49
    music and they actually don't have all
  • 00:17:50
    the rights just because of who they
  • 00:17:52
    worked with they're like we don't have
  • 00:17:53
    an agreement and I think I should be
  • 00:17:54
    able to own it like someone did this to
  • 00:17:55
    me I went to their Studio one time and
  • 00:17:58
    we just recorded and just tried some
  • 00:18:00
    stuff and we were just you know
  • 00:18:01
    around and something like years later
  • 00:18:04
    this person released a song using some
  • 00:18:06
    of the stuff that we had recorded and I
  • 00:18:08
    like didn't give permission person did
  • 00:18:10
    not own it lots of issues and so things
  • 00:18:13
    can happen and maybe someone can be
  • 00:18:14
    confused and you know they end up doing
  • 00:18:17
    something with the music so that's what
  • 00:18:18
    they're saying here and that's what a
  • 00:18:19
    lot of these companies do anyway that
  • 00:18:21
    deal with your music they're like just
  • 00:18:22
    so you know you're supposed to get all
  • 00:18:24
    the permissions and consents and all the
  • 00:18:26
    stuff so that if something bad happens
  • 00:18:28
    guess who's going to have to pay the
  • 00:18:29
    attorney's fees it's you that's what
  • 00:18:31
    that's what this says all right so um
  • 00:18:32
    6.4 talks about attribution so this is
  • 00:18:34
    where it goes you give us permission to
  • 00:18:37
    well and this is after the credit but
  • 00:18:38
    this basically says you will credit them
  • 00:18:40
    so you will credit not only us on
  • 00:18:43
    anything that is made right you are
  • 00:18:45
    required to that's a distinction it's
  • 00:18:47
    not a hey we kind of want you to you are
  • 00:18:49
    actually required to so you know
  • 00:18:50
    technically it would be a breach of
  • 00:18:51
    contract if you use this platform and
  • 00:18:54
    then you don't reasonably credit them
  • 00:18:56
    for the creation so keep that in mind I
  • 00:18:58
    don't know is udio going to come after
  • 00:19:00
    you and sue you because you don't give
  • 00:19:02
    them credit pursuant to this they could
  • 00:19:04
    all right so this is kind of interesting
  • 00:19:05
    right here they get into dmca takedowns
  • 00:19:08
    so basically what this says here they go
  • 00:19:09
    look under the Digital Millennium
  • 00:19:11
    Copyright Act of 2018 and this specific
  • 00:19:15
    statute if someone files a dmca takedown
  • 00:19:19
    because they go you stole something from
  • 00:19:23
    us and so they have a a copyright claim
  • 00:19:25
    under the Copyright Act in the dmca what
  • 00:19:27
    it says is that there's safe Harbor for
  • 00:19:29
    companies so in this case it' be udio so
  • 00:19:31
    so basically what that means is that
  • 00:19:32
    they have built in a mechanism to be
  • 00:19:35
    like if there's a copyright claim we
  • 00:19:36
    have the ability to not get sued pursu
  • 00:19:38
    to the Copyright Act and this is how and
  • 00:19:40
    I go that's really interesting because
  • 00:19:42
    I'm like again this is all AI generated
  • 00:19:44
    stuff so I go one of the big questions
  • 00:19:46
    here is well where's you know what's the
  • 00:19:48
    AI learning from is it really original
  • 00:19:51
    is it really and that's like part of the
  • 00:19:53
    big problem and you know we have a lot
  • 00:19:54
    of people who are just like no it's not
  • 00:19:56
    AI is learning from the stuff that was
  • 00:19:58
    made by humans and then it's using these
  • 00:20:00
    just incredible algorithms and
  • 00:20:02
    Technology you know all this stuff to to
  • 00:20:04
    come up with these new songs and all
  • 00:20:06
    this stuff instantaneously like it's
  • 00:20:07
    insane but in any case they do go well
  • 00:20:09
    we are going to give ourselves Safe
  • 00:20:10
    Harbor here and again I don't know if
  • 00:20:12
    that's for purposes of now or that's
  • 00:20:13
    because in the near future they're going
  • 00:20:15
    to be giving people the ability to
  • 00:20:17
    upload their original stuff and it will
  • 00:20:19
    be now integrated into the AI every
  • 00:20:22
    dream of getting your music into TV film
  • 00:20:24
    and games well it's easier than you
  • 00:20:26
    think and here's what I put together for
  • 00:20:28
    you a music library database of 90 plus
  • 00:20:31
    music libraries email templates and a
  • 00:20:33
    license agreement all so it's done for
  • 00:20:35
    you go to topmusic attorney.com for stin
  • 00:20:38
    licensing Made Easy and guys let me just
  • 00:20:41
    touch on this for like two seconds going
  • 00:20:42
    back to the copyright stuff please
  • 00:20:45
    memorize this remember this write this
  • 00:20:47
    down when it comes to you filing
  • 00:20:49
    something for copyright remember in the
  • 00:20:51
    beginning I said if you're going to file
  • 00:20:54
    to copyright your music your original
  • 00:20:56
    music that you made you want to make
  • 00:20:57
    sure that you file it with the federal
  • 00:20:58
    government write the copyright office
  • 00:21:00
    get a piece of paper you got to do it to
  • 00:21:02
    file a lawsuit to hire me to get your
  • 00:21:04
    attorney's fees like all this stuff to
  • 00:21:05
    file the lawsuit very important and you
  • 00:21:08
    want to do it before the infringement
  • 00:21:09
    happens if there's infringement because
  • 00:21:10
    then you can get statutory damages up to
  • 00:21:12
    $150,000 per infringements all great
  • 00:21:14
    stuff but the copyright office and the
  • 00:21:16
    reason why I showed you that at the
  • 00:21:17
    beginning was the copyright office has
  • 00:21:19
    said that if you make some portion of
  • 00:21:21
    your song using AI you have to disclaim
  • 00:21:24
    it to the copyright office with your
  • 00:21:25
    application when you file and if you
  • 00:21:28
    don't what can happen is that the
  • 00:21:29
    copyright office will revoke your
  • 00:21:31
    registration so it'll be like it never
  • 00:21:33
    happened again for those of you who are
  • 00:21:34
    thinking well how will they know why
  • 00:21:36
    would you risk it and there's so many
  • 00:21:39
    platforms now that are popping up to
  • 00:21:41
    help you know teachers for example you
  • 00:21:44
    know figure out how to how to you know
  • 00:21:45
    catch the kids who are you know using AI
  • 00:21:48
    to write their essays and things like
  • 00:21:49
    that there's just as many like Solutions
  • 00:21:51
    coming up with with with figuring this
  • 00:21:53
    out so I just I want to put it out there
  • 00:21:55
    you do have to disclaim whatever portion
  • 00:21:57
    was written by AI and if the whole thing
  • 00:21:59
    was written by Ai and you didn't do
  • 00:22:01
    anything so other than put in the
  • 00:22:03
    instructions if it was totally made by
  • 00:22:05
    AI you can't get a federal registration
  • 00:22:07
    in the United States all right so moving
  • 00:22:09
    on they have all the mechanisms for the
  • 00:22:11
    dmca takedowns the the ability to do
  • 00:22:13
    counter notifications all kinds of you
  • 00:22:15
    know things we won't get too far into
  • 00:22:17
    okay and then the output right so the
  • 00:22:19
    stuff that is made using the udio
  • 00:22:22
    platform generated by the surface is for
  • 00:22:24
    entertainment purposes only they're like
  • 00:22:26
    hey you can sell it you can do all kinds
  • 00:22:28
    of things but we're saying it's for
  • 00:22:29
    entertainment purposes only due to the
  • 00:22:32
    nature of artificial intelligence and
  • 00:22:34
    machine learning your output may not be
  • 00:22:37
    unique and the services May generate the
  • 00:22:40
    same or similar output for a third party
  • 00:22:44
    so for those of you who like your hair
  • 00:22:46
    is blowing back and you're like this is
  • 00:22:47
    the most amazing thing I'm going to put
  • 00:22:49
    out the best music ever and you know
  • 00:22:51
    you're not maybe being honest about your
  • 00:22:52
    use of it just understand there's just
  • 00:22:54
    going to be different ways that this
  • 00:22:55
    kind of burns you and so I'm focusing on
  • 00:22:57
    the legality of it I'm focusing on the
  • 00:22:59
    copyright issues and all of that however
  • 00:23:01
    I do want to reiterate this they are
  • 00:23:03
    telling you that there is a potential
  • 00:23:06
    that someone who uses the platform may
  • 00:23:09
    have the exact same song generated for
  • 00:23:12
    them so don't think that again you might
  • 00:23:14
    not get discovered right okay so as we
  • 00:23:16
    continue though because remember the
  • 00:23:17
    beginning I go I'm I'm curious about
  • 00:23:20
    this company who is this we'll get to
  • 00:23:22
    that a little bit more so they go uh the
  • 00:23:24
    laws the jurisdiction is basically going
  • 00:23:27
    to be we do have of liability and this
  • 00:23:29
    is how it's all going to work so let me
  • 00:23:30
    go to this 8.2 remember with the tune
  • 00:23:32
    core terms of service we were talking
  • 00:23:35
    about the limitations of liability I'm
  • 00:23:36
    like guys I will literally go to war for
  • 00:23:40
    weeks over these words that there's a
  • 00:23:43
    limitation of liability in order for you
  • 00:23:45
    to seek your special exemplary
  • 00:23:48
    incidental consequential or punitive
  • 00:23:50
    damages and then they also go on to say
  • 00:23:53
    if there is liability so you sue us and
  • 00:23:56
    we lose the total amount that you can
  • 00:23:59
    get cannot exceed it can't be more than
  • 00:24:01
    $100 or the amount that you paid to our
  • 00:24:04
    company if any amount in the past six
  • 00:24:07
    months for the services and I pointed
  • 00:24:09
    out I just go look a lot of companies do
  • 00:24:11
    this because it practically prevents you
  • 00:24:14
    from ever getting a meaningful outcome
  • 00:24:17
    okay so just meaning like you can't get
  • 00:24:18
    your attorney's fees because they said
  • 00:24:20
    that word consequential damages it's a
  • 00:24:22
    consequential damage that you will incur
  • 00:24:24
    to pay $50,000 to file a lawsuit and pay
  • 00:24:26
    an attorney and they're like also also
  • 00:24:28
    by the way you not only don't get
  • 00:24:30
    reimbursed for your attorney's fees but
  • 00:24:31
    if you if we lose the mostly you could
  • 00:24:34
    get is $100 this stuff makes me laugh
  • 00:24:36
    we'll come back to this but I just want
  • 00:24:37
    to transition the conversation really
  • 00:24:39
    quickly back to more of the Practical
  • 00:24:41
    stuff so let me bring Orco back in so we
  • 00:24:43
    can just kind of jump into this this
  • 00:24:45
    whole conversation has just been you
  • 00:24:47
    know crazy I know you haven't gotten
  • 00:24:49
    into udio or any of these things like
  • 00:24:52
    you know working with it but I I checked
  • 00:24:54
    it out I looked at it and I I did it a
  • 00:24:57
    couple days and just every time did it I
  • 00:24:58
    just felt like you know what is the
  • 00:25:01
    point anymore like music is over music
  • 00:25:03
    is done and then I was like uh you know
  • 00:25:06
    but it's here and like what are we going
  • 00:25:08
    to do AI is here AI is you know has
  • 00:25:13
    really think about your lifetime
  • 00:25:14
    everybody that's been alive that's you
  • 00:25:15
    know watching this video has gone
  • 00:25:17
    through a couple of eras just how fast
  • 00:25:19
    the world has adapted to AI just in
  • 00:25:22
    their everyday lives I mean even on meta
  • 00:25:25
    and Facebook now you can't avoid they
  • 00:25:26
    have their AI That's built in that you
  • 00:25:28
    can't even get rid of your phones they
  • 00:25:30
    all have ai in them chat GPT everybody
  • 00:25:33
    uses chat GPT everybody is using some
  • 00:25:36
    form of AI now an aspect of it is like
  • 00:25:39
    you know it's here what do we do like it
  • 00:25:42
    it's just here what can we do I've seen
  • 00:25:44
    Talk of the government really needs to
  • 00:25:45
    regulate AI how the technology is out
  • 00:25:48
    there it's here it's it's in existence
  • 00:25:50
    it's a matter of fact yeah and in
  • 00:25:52
    regards to this if you've written the
  • 00:25:54
    lyrics right so let's say you were using
  • 00:25:56
    udio and you wrote the lyrics well did
  • 00:25:58
    you write all the lyrics did you just
  • 00:26:00
    give it you know maybe some sentences
  • 00:26:02
    and then it built the remainder do you
  • 00:26:04
    have copyright protection in the
  • 00:26:06
    original elements that you provided yes
  • 00:26:08
    for sure it gets really tricky if you go
  • 00:26:11
    that was my sole input and then for
  • 00:26:13
    practically for each of you watching
  • 00:26:14
    this you now know and you can better
  • 00:26:16
    protect yourself on how to do this how
  • 00:26:18
    to register what you need to disclaim
  • 00:26:20
    things like that but then going back to
  • 00:26:21
    the question of someone you know just
  • 00:26:22
    being like so what what if you know so
  • 00:26:24
    what if I don't have the copyright
  • 00:26:26
    ownership here's the Practical effect
  • 00:26:28
    because we talk a lot about you know I
  • 00:26:30
    really want you guys to think like
  • 00:26:31
    record labels so that you can build your
  • 00:26:32
    own companies and not necessarily just
  • 00:26:34
    give ownership of your music to another
  • 00:26:36
    company because maybe they can do
  • 00:26:38
    something for you that you don't know
  • 00:26:39
    that you can actually just do for
  • 00:26:40
    yourself setting that aside I'm always
  • 00:26:42
    like remember that these companies are
  • 00:26:44
    making millions of dollars from your
  • 00:26:46
    music because they end up selling it
  • 00:26:48
    especially if they can get a song or a
  • 00:26:51
    few songs to go viral like something
  • 00:26:53
    happens these become really valuable
  • 00:26:55
    assets and that's what record labels
  • 00:26:57
    make a a lot of their money from and so
  • 00:27:00
    the reason I say all that is because the
  • 00:27:01
    only reason that they can sell this
  • 00:27:03
    stuff is because it's original music
  • 00:27:05
    you're not going to be able to do
  • 00:27:06
    something with this long term so as far
  • 00:27:08
    as it being kind of like part of your
  • 00:27:09
    business plan do you want to utilize
  • 00:27:10
    some of this stuff like cool do it but
  • 00:27:13
    as far as utilizing it and then trying
  • 00:27:15
    to sell and stream and all this like in
  • 00:27:17
    the short term it might have some
  • 00:27:19
    benefit long term it it could really
  • 00:27:21
    backfire for all the reasons we talked
  • 00:27:23
    you know copyright issues you can't
  • 00:27:26
    enforce right so if you're if your song
  • 00:27:28
    was made with AI you can't take that to
  • 00:27:30
    court because you don't own it you don't
  • 00:27:32
    own the copyright in it you also can't
  • 00:27:34
    sell it because when you sell it you
  • 00:27:35
    have to provide paperwork to the buyer
  • 00:27:38
    showing that you have the copyright
  • 00:27:39
    registration that you made all the
  • 00:27:41
    things those are the problems that are
  • 00:27:43
    going to come up for you but I think
  • 00:27:45
    also you know as time goes on and you
  • 00:27:48
    know in just the short time how advanced
  • 00:27:49
    the technology has gotten and it's and
  • 00:27:51
    it's pretty Advanced I mean we're going
  • 00:27:53
    to be talking about this for a while
  • 00:27:54
    because it's crazy I see that it's it
  • 00:27:57
    it's just it is going to be like
  • 00:27:58
    everywhere and maybe some of these laws
  • 00:28:00
    are going to have to change you know you
  • 00:28:02
    know a lot of these laws are so old so
  • 00:28:04
    they're going to have to adapt and I
  • 00:28:06
    don't know if they they'll never catch
  • 00:28:07
    up but I just think of like sync
  • 00:28:09
    licensing who cares if they have to you
  • 00:28:11
    know say that we used it for AI or if
  • 00:28:13
    they're developing their own technology
  • 00:28:16
    because this is these are just you know
  • 00:28:17
    these sunos and and udio are just like
  • 00:28:19
    two companies you don't think record
  • 00:28:20
    labels are designing or their own like
  • 00:28:23
    AI software there's so much different AI
  • 00:28:26
    software I think that you're going to
  • 00:28:27
    have a flooding of AI generated music I
  • 00:28:31
    think that we're going to have another
  • 00:28:32
    huge surge in rappers and singers and
  • 00:28:35
    producers that are using AI for their
  • 00:28:38
    social media because now they have
  • 00:28:39
    backing tracks and so now they can get
  • 00:28:41
    into music so easy just like how when
  • 00:28:43
    Daws were made to everybody can just
  • 00:28:46
    record their own songs at home and then
  • 00:28:47
    everybody was a rapper or producer and
  • 00:28:49
    now it's just even more so because now
  • 00:28:51
    just casual fans of Music are going to
  • 00:28:54
    get the industry the market is going to
  • 00:28:55
    get so overly saturated and it's just
  • 00:28:58
    it's just going to it's just a matter of
  • 00:29:00
    how you're going to adapt into it so I
  • 00:29:03
    think I love this so actually there was
  • 00:29:05
    the when I was talking earlier about
  • 00:29:07
    this um there were two examples that
  • 00:29:08
    came to mind and this was one so when we
  • 00:29:10
    had a non-human make a thing and there
  • 00:29:13
    was the argument of does the monkey who
  • 00:29:15
    accidentally took the or not even
  • 00:29:16
    accident the monkey who took the selfie
  • 00:29:18
    did the monkey own the copyright and the
  • 00:29:21
    courts found no because he's not human
  • 00:29:24
    right but then another instance where um
  • 00:29:27
    a live streamer
  • 00:29:28
    he accidentally turned on the camera and
  • 00:29:31
    it accidentally started live streaming
  • 00:29:34
    and then someone used that video and so
  • 00:29:36
    he sued and he goes That's My
  • 00:29:38
    copyrighted content and he lost because
  • 00:29:41
    the court said you didn't intentionally
  • 00:29:43
    make it yes it was made by a human but
  • 00:29:44
    you didn't intentionally make so there's
  • 00:29:46
    lots of like gray areas and Nuance
  • 00:29:48
    things but the one thing that we do know
  • 00:29:49
    under the Copyright Act is that work of
  • 00:29:52
    authorship suggests that it's made by a
  • 00:29:54
    human it has to be made by a human
  • 00:29:56
    people are going to always want people
  • 00:29:57
    to perform live people are going to
  • 00:29:59
    always want that aspect so although
  • 00:30:02
    there's a lot of holograms that are out
  • 00:30:03
    there now at
  • 00:30:04
    shows so we'll see we'll see what
  • 00:30:07
    happens but what so so one thing I
  • 00:30:09
    didn't finish my thought on in regards
  • 00:30:11
    to the terms of service and I'll just
  • 00:30:12
    show you guys this really fast because I
  • 00:30:13
    go in the terms of service it always
  • 00:30:15
    says what choice of law like if there's
  • 00:30:17
    a dispute where are we going to Duke it
  • 00:30:19
    out in the terms right here it goes the
  • 00:30:21
    terms are governed by the state of New
  • 00:30:23
    York without regard to conflict of rules
  • 00:30:26
    proper venue so if a dispute that the
  • 00:30:30
    state and federal courts located in New
  • 00:30:32
    York County New York shall control so I
  • 00:30:35
    go back to my little you know remember
  • 00:30:37
    we were looking at the trademark filings
  • 00:30:41
    and we go H this is interesting they're
  • 00:30:43
    saying that they are registered in
  • 00:30:44
    Delaware Delaware but then they have New
  • 00:30:46
    York law so I actually tried looking up
  • 00:30:48
    the company and I searched in the you
  • 00:30:51
    know New York Secretary of State website
  • 00:30:53
    they're not there so they are registered
  • 00:30:55
    in Delaware I'm like is it this
  • 00:30:58
    Australian company who are they it's
  • 00:31:00
    very mysterious but I'm sure that you
  • 00:31:02
    know with all of this technology I'm
  • 00:31:05
    sure these companies are also kind of
  • 00:31:06
    nervous when they release it just
  • 00:31:07
    because they don't know what the laws
  • 00:31:08
    are going to be and so they're trying to
  • 00:31:10
    throw everything they can to protect
  • 00:31:11
    themselves that's the other thing that
  • 00:31:13
    blows me away about everything is the
  • 00:31:15
    fact that anybody has access to this
  • 00:31:18
    like anybody can do this it's not like
  • 00:31:20
    you have to already be involved in music
  • 00:31:23
    or you're paying for something or this
  • 00:31:25
    is an exclusive technology that's only
  • 00:31:27
    available to like the upper echelon or
  • 00:31:30
    labels or whatever your grandma could
  • 00:31:33
    literally make an AI generated song make
  • 00:31:36
    a little IG with it or whatever and go
  • 00:31:39
    super viral off this song yeah in
  • 00:31:41
    regards to just training AI right and I
  • 00:31:43
    go how do you guys feel about this so if
  • 00:31:45
    at some point udio and really any of
  • 00:31:48
    these platforms but udio allows you to
  • 00:31:49
    upload your music because maybe you're
  • 00:31:51
    just trying to get inspired you know and
  • 00:31:53
    they go not only if you upload the music
  • 00:31:54
    you give us a license to use that and
  • 00:31:58
    any of the final things that you know
  • 00:32:00
    you come up with but also that they have
  • 00:32:03
    access and you know will have access it
  • 00:32:05
    doesn't look like it's you know a thing
  • 00:32:06
    right now but that they'll have the
  • 00:32:08
    ability for other people to be able to
  • 00:32:11
    also view the stuff that you make and to
  • 00:32:13
    download the stuff that you make now
  • 00:32:14
    they say if someone else downloads what
  • 00:32:17
    you make they're not supposed to use it
  • 00:32:19
    commercially right to distribute it sell
  • 00:32:21
    it that kind of thing but but but I'm
  • 00:32:23
    also going like okay cool that's what
  • 00:32:24
    you say but practically speaking what
  • 00:32:27
    would people do they'll do whatever the
  • 00:32:28
    hell they want well I'm just it's just
  • 00:32:30
    you know I just see people using it a
  • 00:32:32
    lot for sampling just taking you know
  • 00:32:34
    generating some you know 70 Soul
  • 00:32:37
    trumpets or something like that and and
  • 00:32:39
    you know we already we we talked about a
  • 00:32:41
    little bit before output how you just
  • 00:32:44
    kind of uh on their website you type in
  • 00:32:46
    what kind of stems you want and it'll
  • 00:32:47
    Pro it's essentially doing the same
  • 00:32:49
    thing it's giving you a type of beat
  • 00:32:50
    that you get the stems from I think when
  • 00:32:52
    udio releases stems and just these
  • 00:32:55
    different abilities or can go you know
  • 00:32:57
    from song to MIDI and then you're just
  • 00:32:59
    kind of taking chords or whatever
  • 00:33:00
    there's just it's going to be harder to
  • 00:33:02
    catch but to your point of just not
  • 00:33:03
    owning your music some people are just
  • 00:33:05
    looking for the clout and the short the
  • 00:33:07
    short ride companies are looking just to
  • 00:33:09
    save money and not hire musicians think
  • 00:33:12
    about just all the jobs that these AI
  • 00:33:14
    companies are you know potentially
  • 00:33:16
    eliminated like session musicians like I
  • 00:33:19
    don't really there's so many things I
  • 00:33:21
    just I need a baseline I don't need a
  • 00:33:22
    session musician to play it I'll get a
  • 00:33:23
    clean Baseline stem that I have sound
  • 00:33:26
    Engineers when you hear these udio songs
  • 00:33:28
    and there Sound MP3 and beta and stuff
  • 00:33:30
    but if you know if they get higher
  • 00:33:32
    quality whatever these songs sound like
  • 00:33:33
    they're mixed they sound pretty good
  • 00:33:36
    anybody that's like kind of attached
  • 00:33:37
    with kind of mastering Engineers
  • 00:33:39
    songwriting is going to be totally
  • 00:33:41
    affected by these because you don't need
  • 00:33:42
    it and if I'm making a movie or a short
  • 00:33:45
    film or I'm looking for something
  • 00:33:48
    background music for my YouTube video
  • 00:33:50
    like why am I not just generating the AI
  • 00:33:53
    music that I want and just putting it on
  • 00:33:55
    my video like or my short form content
  • 00:33:58
    of Tik Tok and now I have a I'm wrapping
  • 00:34:01
    My My lyrics over it or I'm not I'm
  • 00:34:03
    using AI lyrics The world is changed
  • 00:34:06
    though that's the main takeaway is it's
  • 00:34:08
    changed and we either accept it go with
  • 00:34:10
    the flow or we sit there and complain
  • 00:34:13
    about it but people are going to be
  • 00:34:14
    making money on this people are going to
  • 00:34:15
    be using these tools well on one thing
  • 00:34:18
    that I do want to just point out because
  • 00:34:19
    you guys remember they had said at the
  • 00:34:21
    beginning of the terms of service and
  • 00:34:22
    they go uh you reserve the right to opt
  • 00:34:26
    out so I just want to make sure sure to
  • 00:34:28
    give you guys this because I always give
  • 00:34:29
    you the contact information so if you do
  • 00:34:31
    sign up to be on this platform you have
  • 00:34:32
    30 days after you register to be on the
  • 00:34:35
    platform to send them an email which you
  • 00:34:38
    want to send to
  • 00:34:40
    info.com and you want to say I do not
  • 00:34:42
    want to be bound by the arbitration
  • 00:34:46
    provision and I wanted to point this out
  • 00:34:49
    because I saw this with when I bought
  • 00:34:50
    one of my cars and it said that because
  • 00:34:53
    I actually read the terms of service
  • 00:34:55
    it's it's a thing like you do want to
  • 00:34:57
    opt out of these things so if you're
  • 00:34:59
    newer to the platform if you want to
  • 00:35:00
    utilize that make sure you do it you
  • 00:35:01
    have 30 days from the time you register
  • 00:35:03
    and the reason why I wanted to point out
  • 00:35:05
    is a you guys should know this but be
  • 00:35:07
    with with udio terms of service I always
  • 00:35:08
    want to highlight something where I see
  • 00:35:10
    a company doing something like giving an
  • 00:35:12
    option to its users to artists to
  • 00:35:15
    producers like and that's why I just you
  • 00:35:16
    know had such a problem with toun cores
  • 00:35:18
    terms of services because I'm like I get
  • 00:35:20
    it you're a company you were here to
  • 00:35:21
    make money that is so abundantly clear
  • 00:35:25
    and you know you have no obligation to
  • 00:35:27
    care about your artists whatsoever but
  • 00:35:29
    like when I see a company giving some
  • 00:35:30
    option of something I'm like good for
  • 00:35:32
    you it's the process not the results now
  • 00:35:35
    I don't know which which direction
  • 00:35:37
    you're taking because you could see from
  • 00:35:38
    both coins from that statement people
  • 00:35:40
    thought that also the end was going to
  • 00:35:41
    come when cassette tapes came and they
  • 00:35:43
    they were going to end the music
  • 00:35:44
    business but you could record songs off
  • 00:35:45
    the radio and dub them and you know one
  • 00:35:48
    could argue that that you know
  • 00:35:49
    eventually came to streaming um but it's
  • 00:35:52
    all about we're talking about like
  • 00:35:53
    devaluing music you know photography has
  • 00:35:56
    totally changed as far as as you know
  • 00:35:58
    people aren't necessarily going to
  • 00:35:59
    photographers for their head shot or
  • 00:36:01
    whatever everybody's shooting everything
  • 00:36:02
    on their phone or technology has been
  • 00:36:04
    affecting every humans forever I mean
  • 00:36:07
    it's just been kind of like a slow burn
  • 00:36:09
    to get to where we are cuz even when I
  • 00:36:12
    was kind of toying it around with it and
  • 00:36:13
    just putting in like artist names it was
  • 00:36:15
    coming pretty close to a lot of stuff
  • 00:36:17
    which is the scary thing because it's
  • 00:36:20
    still not there yet but it's it's so
  • 00:36:23
    almost there in such a short time um
  • 00:36:26
    we're going to be definitely covering
  • 00:36:27
    more of this stuff going on just talking
  • 00:36:29
    about just even like the ethics of it
  • 00:36:31
    you know 30 years of now ai generated
  • 00:36:34
    music it's like oh like you you listen
  • 00:36:36
    to human made music that's so like 80
  • 00:36:39
    years ago like is human history going to
  • 00:36:41
    be erased is emotion because we're
  • 00:36:43
    training it with our emotions we're
  • 00:36:45
    training it with our Vibes every time we
  • 00:36:47
    generate a song every time we release a
  • 00:36:50
    song now apparently we are teaching AI
  • 00:36:53
    our Human Experience our things it's now
  • 00:36:56
    creating things to point where we're not
  • 00:36:58
    going to be able to tell and we're be
  • 00:36:59
    like I don't care that that song's a jam
  • 00:37:01
    like what am I going to do about it it's
  • 00:37:03
    it's a hit what do you want me to do I
  • 00:37:04
    don't know robot wrote it robots are
  • 00:37:05
    good what you want me to tell you this
  • 00:37:06
    is what we're taking away from having
  • 00:37:08
    looked at now the terms of service
  • 00:37:09
    considered copyright law and number one
  • 00:37:13
    in regards to purely AI created Music
  • 00:37:17
    you do not own it and in fact even
  • 00:37:19
    pursuant to udo's terms you have a
  • 00:37:22
    license you're permitted to use it right
  • 00:37:23
    you can use it commercially you can sell
  • 00:37:25
    it you can license you can stream it you
  • 00:37:26
    can do all the things that's that's okay
  • 00:37:28
    so you are okay legally to use the music
  • 00:37:30
    that you generate but under copyright
  • 00:37:33
    law you don't own it now if you merge AI
  • 00:37:37
    stuff into your music the AI stuff you
  • 00:37:41
    don't own the original stuff that you
  • 00:37:43
    made you own't if you go and file that
  • 00:37:46
    with the federal government which you do
  • 00:37:48
    want to do generally for your music you
  • 00:37:50
    have to make sure you tell them the
  • 00:37:51
    stuff that was made by AI otherwise it
  • 00:37:53
    could result in your registration being
  • 00:37:57
    revoked later on Curtis King I watched
  • 00:38:00
    the Curtis King video when he was
  • 00:38:01
    talking about this and he was talking
  • 00:38:03
    about how don't be so afraid of it
  • 00:38:05
    because what's the difference artists
  • 00:38:07
    make producers make tight beats where
  • 00:38:08
    they're literally studying a Drake album
  • 00:38:11
    and copying his exact beat production
  • 00:38:13
    and then trying to sell them on beat
  • 00:38:14
    stars or whatever they're like they're
  • 00:38:16
    emulating Styles already it's just AI is
  • 00:38:19
    making it kind of easier for you I mean
  • 00:38:21
    how many artists when Billy eish started
  • 00:38:23
    to blow up started doing the whisper
  • 00:38:26
    singing like you know what I'm saying so
  • 00:38:29
    I I also see that as as as the thing to
  • 00:38:32
    also not panic I'm trying not to panic
  • 00:38:35
    because I got to tell you like my I felt
  • 00:38:37
    nauseous when I started hearing some of
  • 00:38:39
    the stuff that those those AIS were were
  • 00:38:41
    pointing out for those of you who will
  • 00:38:43
    argue that AI is a tool right it can be
  • 00:38:46
    used as a tool to enhance creativity
  • 00:38:49
    it's not meant to eliminate but it's
  • 00:38:50
    like autotune or sound effects right
  • 00:38:54
    distortions plugins all these things
  • 00:38:57
    that enhance and manipulate and even
  • 00:39:00
    sometimes will give you progressions we
  • 00:39:03
    be like put in the court generators and
  • 00:39:06
    so I go you know for for maybe people
  • 00:39:08
    who are villainizing AI I go it's tough
  • 00:39:11
    because you don't have a problem with
  • 00:39:12
    any of the other stuff I just mentioned
  • 00:39:15
    right yeah so what what's your guys's
  • 00:39:17
    thought I mean
  • 00:39:19
    sampling people that sample or they do
  • 00:39:22
    remix or cover songs aren't you just
  • 00:39:24
    exploiting another artist for clout like
  • 00:39:26
    when you do those things when covering
  • 00:39:27
    song you're using their song to for your
  • 00:39:30
    own to put yourself on it like you
  • 00:39:32
    didn't come up with that originally when
  • 00:39:34
    you sample you didn't come up with that
  • 00:39:36
    sample you're taking somebody else
  • 00:39:38
    what's the difference between Ai and
  • 00:39:40
    that you know what I mean like as as we
  • 00:39:43
    go into nuances now I'm thinking more
  • 00:39:45
    from a not just taking the song because
  • 00:39:47
    people aren't just going to take the
  • 00:39:48
    songs as a whole and release them
  • 00:39:51
    necessarily they could be inspired they
  • 00:39:53
    could be sampling they could be doing
  • 00:39:54
    all kinds of things that you don't know
  • 00:39:55
    like producers find tricks to to do
  • 00:39:57
    whatever that's why you hear songs that
  • 00:39:59
    get sued 5 years later because they hid
  • 00:40:01
    the sample pretty good but not good
  • 00:40:02
    enough and then they get caught and then
  • 00:40:05
    they get sued just stay creative stay
  • 00:40:07
    creative just remember this is why
  • 00:40:09
    direct consumer it's the best time to do
  • 00:40:12
    it it's the best time to try these
  • 00:40:14
    things because there's going to be a
  • 00:40:16
    huge sect of people that are looking for
  • 00:40:18
    that Human Experience and maybe now your
  • 00:40:20
    campaign is like for the next few years
  • 00:40:22
    human made all human made you you you
  • 00:40:25
    don't even you can't buy it from the
  • 00:40:26
    machine you have to buy it Direct irly
  • 00:40:27
    on my website not paying to these other
  • 00:40:29
    companies that when you're uploading
  • 00:40:31
    your music to the distributors or
  • 00:40:32
    whatever they are they are they training
  • 00:40:34
    do they have deals with these companies
  • 00:40:35
    that are training your art and training
  • 00:40:37
    your originality direct to Consumer may
  • 00:40:39
    be the way to go if you start to
  • 00:40:40
    incorporate AI into your creative
  • 00:40:43
    process the AI generated stuff you do
  • 00:40:45
    not own if you do not own it think about
  • 00:40:48
    how that's going to affect your stuff
  • 00:40:50
    long term right
