Music copyright day never more important

With the onslaught of Artificial Intelligence (AI) respect the lines of copyright have become very blurred. AI scrapes information from the Internet without permission or renumeration to the people and sites it steals from. It has become a real problem for all types of creators. However, of all the genres, music is probably still the most protected and the one AI is less likely to use without permission.


Today, and November 18th annually, is Music Copyright Day. The Japan Music Copyright Association (JASRAC) created this day on the anniversary of the establishment of the association, which has been in existence since 1939. 

The aim is to support the healthy development of music culture while protecting the rights of lyricists and composers. 


 I would really like to see copyright laws strengthened for all genres, not just music. Moreover, I would like to see AI policed and Google and other AI companies pay those it has stolen information from over the past five years. I am glad that for now music can not be as easily stolen or copied and I hope that it stays that way.
