I don't think something being pushed by Sony music, universal music and Disney is going to be good for the consumer.:
There's a reason why we can't copyright a voice. I can't wait for YouTube to delist all my videos because the algorithms decided I sound too much like Ben Affleck.
There's essentially 3 companies that own all our music. This bill is their attempt at making sure they are the only ones that can offer music generation services.
Yeah if those companies back it then I'm suspicious by default. Based on their previous actions they could come out and say murdering babies is wrong and I'd start wondering if murdering babies maybe should be legal.
My bet on why they are endorsing it: if they get an actor to sign something for Disney to use their image while they are alive, then they can hold onto that exclusive right to the image for 70 years after the actor dies.
But for the near term, maybe it means they have to stop putting Carrie Fisher in stuff?
