Abstract

The article discusses a legal confrontation between the U.K. music industry and the AI music startup Jammable, formerly known as Voicify, over the use of copyrighted works to create deepfake versions of popular artists' voices, including Amy Winehouse and Drake. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) issued a cease-and-desist letter to Jammable, claiming unlawful use of copyrighted material and threatening legal action if the company did not comply. In response to the pressure, Jammable removed the controversial models from its platform. The situation highlights the growing tensions between AI companies and the music industry regarding copyright issues and the monetization of AI-generated content. [Extracted from the article]
