    I’m cynically believing that this is the beginning of enforcing a copywrite use tax; when anyone generates something that is visual or audible.

    The tax will be collected by the government and put into a slush fund that mostly goes to corporations and wealthy, while ostensibly supposed to go fairly to all creators

      I’m guessing it’s going to be a system where a company like Spotify doesnt let you upload generated music unless it has the metadata from the “legal” music generators so they can automatically send most of the profits to the shareholders.

      Universal already owns Udio, Suno will follow soon. I wish it was an actual tax.
