AI can generate songs in seconds. But behind every AI track is a complicated question. Who should get paid? The music industry is becoming a test case for an economy transformed by generative AI. For most of the last century, the music business operated under a surprisingly simple idea. If you want to use someone else's work, you ask permission and pay them money. Want to sample a song? Want to use a song in a movie, advertisement or television show? The people who own the song get paid. Now, generative AI is challenging that entire system.
