Sounds Of Science: Copyright Infringement In Ai Music Generator Outputs, Eric Sunray
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The music business is no stranger to disruptive technology. The industry’s apparent comeback from the devastating downturn caused by illegal file sharing seems to have arrived just in time for what may be an even more disruptive technological phenomenon: artificial intelligence (“AI”). Much has been said about the implications of AI-generated music, ranging from issues of ownership, to rights of publicity.

Dimension Films,' in which it held that any amount of unauthorized digital sampling from a sound recording is per se copyright infringement. The court justified this ruling on what it termed a "literal reading" of Section 114 of the Copyright Act, which covers the rights a copyright holder has in a sound recording. While such a bright-line rule may have some superficial appeal, the court's efforts at harmonizing current music industry practices with copyright laws written long before such practices were commonplace has resulted …
