“U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel on Tuesday that U.S. copyright law "requires all work to be authored in the first instance by a human being."”
This is fantastic news. A unanimous decision, and the correct one in my view, means an appeal is fighting uphill.
A minor victory but I hope it sends a chilling effect through the growing industry of AI generated music - copyright runs that industry with an iron fist. I hate the RIAA with a passion. I have never signed away my rights to 6StringMercenary and I reap the minor rewards. 10k Spotify streams is a small number for income purposes, but that’s because the RIAA and Spotify colluded to give independent artists a fraction of the revenue to split among themselves.
What a good, solid ruling for the protection of an already exploited class.
