Bandcamp Bans AI Music
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bandcamp recently announced, "music and audio that is generated wholly or in substantial part by AI is not permitted on Bandcamp." But what does that mean, and how will they enforce it? We dive in. In good news, we share a fundraising effort by Fender and Habitat for Humanity to raise money for housing in LA by auctioning custom guitars made from trees affected by last year's fires. Then we discuss a new global initiative by Universal Music Group to empower music education. Is it a good thing, or just another corporate cashgrab?
Stay to the end for this week's Take It Or Leave It advice, which has to do with doomscrolling.
