The use of AI-generated music has led to a new copyright debate in the music industry. A track created by TikTok creator Ghostwriter977, which emulated the vocal styles of Drake and The Weeknd, went viral on major music platforms including YouTube and Spotify before being removed.
The artists' record label, Republic Records' parent company Universal Music Group (UMG), demanded that major music platforms—including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, and SoundCloud—remove the song, arguing that serving up the song constitutes copyright infringement.
