Ethical and Equitable Changes to How Music is Created, Shared, Consumed, and Transacted

The Issue

To music distributors, digital streaming platforms, and other music platforms,

As artists and listeners, we seek the following changes to your terms of service and privacy policies:

  • Transparency and labeling of AI-generated music in any capacity.
  • When AI-generated music is allowed, requiring the crediting of and licensing from creators whose music and/or content were used to train the AI that generated subsequent derivative works. 
  • Specific terms and policies stating if/if not and how artist music and content, user content, and artist and user personal data are used to train internal AI or allow third parties to access the same information to train AI.
  • An opt-in/out for both users and artists to agree or not agree to having their music, content, and personal data used to train AI internally or via third party.
  • An agreement to prioritize ethical and equitable business practices in how music is created, shared, consumed, and transacted with an emphasis on fair reimbursement to artists that reflects the true value of human-created music.
