tech companies started raising millions of venture capital dollars and scraping my music without my consent. They now use his own work to generate 'shittier music with it that is inadvertently associated with my name—and then attempting to resell that in the same economy in which I make money from my music.'
The album covers have a persuasive vintage look, even with some evident wear-and-tear on the margins, as if they had been part of a record collector's personal archive for many years. Sometimes the musicians even look familiar.
And if AI scammers can steal royalties without consequences, this will metastasize like a cancer throughout the music economy. The fact that Spotify is encouraging listeners to check out these albums is especially troubling.
