I am torn because on one hand, fuck record companies. On the other hand, fuck AI companies torrenting, stealing and defrauding.

Yeah it is tricky in the current climate who to say “fuck you” to first. GEMA does at least represent human artists a bit. Nobody I know in music or any other creative industries has given a blanket allowance for AI companies hoovering up their artworks to then regurgitate for profit. Pirating music to hear it is one thing. Cloning it with modifications to resell is a whole other thing.
