Sony and 4 other companies basically own all music. If they can opt out, it gives them a defacto monopoly on any music generators. The AI music is still going to come and artists aren’t getting a dime either way except maybe some big names that don’t need the money anyways.
There is nothing to be gained from taking Sony’s side here. Sony is a pos company that exploits all the artists under it. It will exploit it’s data to create more profit through AI, without paying them.
Its either open source AI anyone can run at home or closed source AI that only a few companies can legally run, offered with a hefty subscription fee and censorship.
or an in house solution. Sony is big enough to build out their own team for it. I could see that making sense. i think Sony probably has the best bet out of the companies that own all of the music. they could be positioned to be the only ones capable of making a music “ai”

4?
Sony, universal and Warner are the big 3. Who are you could ting as the 4th? BMG?
In the sense that all Labour under capitalism is exploitative, maybe, but otherwise Sony is pretty well liked among its artists.
But I agree with the rest of what you said.
