Brian, can you defend udio on its own merits without the irrelevant comparison of past music technology? All past music technology still required a person to compose the music, unlike udio. Udio doesn’t even require any knowledge of music. Anyone can go on udio and become an instant composer.

My take on udio is it creates music for anyone while downloading internet copyrighted SAMPLES into its application. That’s why udio is facing lawsuits. Here’s from the Recording Industry Association of America: “Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all,” Recording Industry Association of America chair and CEO Mitch Glazier said in a press release.

As far as your reference to possible copyright infringement for being influenced by other artists and songwriters. As long as one doesn’t copy another’s work and call it his own, there’s no problem. In fact, listening to the great writers of the past and present is a great learning tool. Building on this knowledge is what advances music. Otherwise, we never would have gotten past Gregorian chants.
