Misleading title. This isn't an "AI Company". As far as I can tell, it's some scammer that used AI Tools to create similar music and then copyright strike the original artist to steal their revenue.
The major issue here is how YouTube handles these claims. From the article:
This isn't something new and was already being done before AI tools were available.
The problem is not an "AI company" but Google being evil and AI making scamming so much more efficient. I had the habit of using youtube as music player in the background (with ublock of course). This has become incredibly miserable and I finall freed myself from that and rather pay qobuz a decent amount of money from now one, for much better quality and much more money actually ending up with the artists and no scam BS like the above. Oh and also active removal of AI music slop, in case it even makes it there.
Same scam as before, just made a lot easier by AI bullshit unfortunately.
I remember I like 2007 YouTube removed one of my videos I made of a glitch in runescape because some else also posted a video and they copyright struke my videoto remove it. I made the video, with my character, just showing the same glitch. There were zero resources to fight it.
No true scammer.
