Seems like a new scam is AI companies making infringement claims against the musicians they scraped for sounding like themselves.

Turns out it works because the claims are adjudicated by, you guessed it, AI agents.

AI Company Clones Musician’s Voice, Then Copyright-Strikes Her Own Songs

Folk musician Murphy Campbell found herself at the center of a major ordeal when an entity called Timeless Sounds IR uploaded AI-generated imitations of her music to every major music platform, then used her recordings to strip her of her own income.

Time for a theft of intellectual property lawsuit. I hope she copyrighted all of her material.

I'd *love* to see the judges face when this lawsuit lands.

Providing all of your personal information (to YouTube and the claimant), the whole truth and nothing but the truth, under pain of perjury if you get anything wrong or leave anything out.

edit: Doxxing (from 'documenting') was originally a term for non-consensual leaks of any personal info, usually done as revenge.

The entire copyright system built over the last several decades is inherently oppressive and extractive, assuming guilt and requiring people to challenge an prove their innocence. As someone who is most likely to post my own students and ensembles playing I get copy strikes all the time and have for years, on public domain works because the system is built around the premise that the first person to register a performance own the work.
