Ipulatifomu yomculo we-AI ethandwa kakhulu emhlabeni ifinyelele esivumelwaneni esingangenisa inkathi entsha yabaculi abakhokhelwa yizinkampani zobuchwepheshe, kusho abakhankasi. I-Suno, ipulatifomu evumela abasebenzisi ukudala umculo ngemiyalo yombhalo, imemezele isivumelwano selayisensi ne-Warner Music Group esixazulule icala elifakwe yilebula. I-Warner nezinye izitolo ezinkulu zisole i-Suno "ngokweba" amalungelo okushicilela ngemuva kokuqeqesha imodeli yayo ye-AI ngomculo omningi okhishwe kwi-inthanethi ngaphandle kwemvume evela kubaculi. Abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-100 basebenzise i-Suno, okuhlanganisa abaculi abanjengoTimbaland, futhi yayibiza amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.45 kuleli sonto. Lesi sivumelwano sakamuva phakathi kwepulatifomu yomculo we-AI kanye nomkhakha. I-Udio, imbangi ye-Suno, isayine izivumelwano zelayisensi ne-Warner, ikhaya le-Coldplay, i-Charli XCX, i-Ed Sheeran, i-Dua Lipa kanye ne-Bruno Mars, ngesonto eledlule kanye ne-Universal Music Group ngenyanga edlule. Abakhankasi bathi lezi zivumelwano ziwubufakazi bokuthi ongqongqoshe akudingeki baqhubeke nohlelo lokushintsha imithetho yelungelo lokushicilela ukuze bazame ukuheha izinkampani ze-AI e-UK. U-Ed Newton-Rex, umqambi kanye nomphathi omkhulu we-Fairly Trained, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo eqinisekisa izinkampani ze-AI ngokuqeqeshwa okunobulungiswa kokuthola idatha, uthe izimboni zomculo kanye ne-AI "ziyaphuma esigabeni se-Napster ziye esigabeni se-Spotify". Uqhathanise lokhu nesikhathi lapho ukulanda umculo ongekho emthethweni kuthathelwa indawo ukusakaza. Wanezela: “Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuwukunqoba okukhulu kwabadali. Kuwukusuka entshonalanga yasendle yezinkampani ze-AI eziqeqesha noma yini abayithandayo futhi ziye ezweni lapho abantu bekhokhela khona idatha yabo yokuqeqesha. Okuhle ngalesi sivumelwano kanye nezinye ezifana naso ukuthi zibonisa ukuthi ilayisensi ingenzeka. Ngithemba ngempela ukuthi uhulumeni uyakubheka lokhu bese ethi: 'mhlawumbe besinephutha lapho siphakamisa ukushintsha umthetho we-copyright ngendlela ebingabhubhisa imakethe yelayisensi ngaphambi kwesikhathi ngesisekelo seseluleko esivela kubantu abanentshisekelo enkulu.'” U-Owen Meredith, isikhulu esiphezulu se-News Media Association, uthe: “Uhulumeni kumele aqaphele ukuthi ukungaqiniseki okukudalile mayelana nomthetho we-copyright wase-UK kumisa intuthuko eyengeziwe. Isibuyekezo sikanobhala wezwe ngoDisemba ephalamende siyithuba elihle lokunikeza isiqiniseko nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ngeke kube khona okuhlukile kokumbiwa kombhalo kanye nedatha, nokucacisa ukuthi ngokuphuma endleleni uhulumeni uzokhuphula imakethe yelayisensi ekhulayo.” Ngesonto eledlule uLiz Kendall, unobhala wezobuchwepheshe, uthe ufuna “ukusetha kabusha” inkinga ye-copyright, okubonisa ukuthi uyazwelana nezimfuno zabaculi zokuthi imisebenzi yabo ingasuswa yizinkampani ze-AI ngaphandle kwenkokhelo. Ngaphansi kwesivumelwano se-Suno-Warner, inkampani ye-AI izoshintsha isofthiwe yayo futhi ivumele kuphela ukulandwa kwamathrekhi amasha kubasebenzisi abakhokhelwayo, nabo abazobhekana nemingcele. Lokhu kuklanyelwe ukuvimbela ukugeleza komculo we-AI omsulwa, okuye kwathusa abaculi abathi kuphazamisa umsebenzi wabo. Abaculi bazokwazi ukukhetha ukuvumela ukufana kwabo nomsindo wabo ukuthi kusetshenziswe abasebenzisi be-Suno, abavame ukuyala i-AI ukuthi "benze ithrekhi ngesitayela se-..." I-Suno ithole i-Songkick, ipulatifomu yokuthola amakhonsathi omculo obukhoma, njengengxenye yesivumelwano. "Lesi sivumelwano esibalulekile ne-Suno siwukunqoba komphakathi wokudala okuzuzisa wonke umuntu," kusho uRobert Kyncl, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Warner Music Group. UMikey Shulman, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Suno, uthe: "Ubambiswano lwethu ne-Warner Music luvula ulwazi olukhulu nolucebile lwe-Suno kubathandi bomculo, futhi lusheshisa umgomo wethu wokushintsha indawo yomculo emhlabeni ngokuwenza ube yigugu kakhulu ezigidini zabantu." I-Suno isazoxazulula amacala avela ku-Sony kanye ne-Universal Music Group, abaculi abazimele kanye nezinhlangano eziqoqayo. I-Udio ayikafinyeleli esivumelwaneni ne-Sony. I-Future of Music Coalition, elwela amalungelo abaculi, ibhale ku-X ukuthi “akukho imininingwane eyanele ngalesi sivumelwano ukuze ikwazi ukusihlola ngempela”. Yanezela: “Ukukhetha ukungena kuphela kuhle, futhi izinguquko kumodeli zibalulekile kodwa akuyona imfihlo ukuthi abaculi abaningi bangathanda ukubona uSuno emangalelwa aze akhohlwe.”
