They know it has. Think of this like when a porn studio uploads their own films to a torrent site, and then goes after people who download them.
Except, in this case, everyone involved are terrible human beings. So… while I will never cheer for Sony Music, I will happily root against all the AI/tech companies they go after for scraping their catalogues.
Sony is probably working on a music generator as we speak. So it’s not like Sony vs AI but Sony AI Monopoly vs Diverse AI ecosystem including FOSS.
I also consider the data stolen in either case, since Sony isn’t going to give a dime more to their artists when they either sell the data or come out with their own software. Actually, if everyone owns it and can use it to train, I see it more as sharing tbh.
I guess I might be bias, I hate these fat cat companies trying to strangle new tech so we have to lick their boots while using it.
They’re crazy if they think their catalogue hasn’t already been used to train models

They don’t think that.
And AI companies are crazy if they think Sony won’t makee them pay for that as soon as they can prove it.
Perhaps that’s why they are eager to do this - think of all the money they could make from lawsuits…;-)
