“I promise you, NCOSE would gleefully move to silence many RIAA-label supported artists, claiming their music is "obscene" and must be stopped. It would be nice if artists on RIAA labels spoke up about how they feel about the RIAA supporting NCOSE's attacks on speech.”
Excuse me what? The RIAA is now funding NCOSE to file bullshit amicus briefs before the Supreme Court?!?
That is way more fucked up than even usual RIAA nonsense.
Let me explain...

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

IT'S SO WEIRD after spending my formative years watching people rightly criticize organizations like the RIAA for suing teenagers for downloading MP3s
It's a jarring inversion from the 00's. I never would have believed that 20 years later a broadly progressive and left movement would be campaigning for stricter interpretation and enforcement of copyright law.

This is both gross and extremely cynical by the RIAA, a group who has in the past pretended to stand up for the free speech rights of musicians and artists. Musicians should be questioning whose interests the RIAA is looking out for if they're financially supporting NCOSE.

The RIAA and MPAA should have been made to pay for their anticonsumer ways
The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

Piracy is activism against the RIAA and MPAA. It is not activism when its authors and books.
Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!
