"Bandcamp's new guidelines state that music and audio generated "wholly or in substantial part by AI" is not permitted, and that it will not allow the use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles. So, if Drake had released "Taylor Made Freestyle" on Bandcamp, he would've had a problem (and maybe it would've been for his own good). As AI music generators like Suno become more sophisticated, it's become harder to avoid synthetic music - songs created with AI tools have topped charts on Spotify and Billboard."
"In one high-profile example, Telisha Jones, a 31-year-old in Mississippi, used Suno to turn her (supposedly organic) poetry into the viral R&B song " How Was I Supposed To Know." Her AI "persona," Xania Monet, received multiple bids for record deals before signing with Hallwood Media in a deal reportedly worth $3 million."
"Suno is currently facing lawsuits from three major labels - Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group - alleging that the company trained its AI on copyrighted material from the labels. This hasn't deterred Silicon Valley, though. Suno raised a $250 million Series C round in November, which valued the company at $2.4 billion. While the raise was led by Menlo Ventures, Suno saw participation from Hallwood Media, the company backing Xania Monet."
Bandcamp has banned music and audio generated wholly or in substantial part by AI, and it prohibits AI tools that impersonate other artists or styles. AI-generated songs have become increasingly realistic, with AI-created tracks topping Spotify and Billboard charts. Telisha Jones used Suno to transform poetry into a viral R&B track under the AI persona Xania Monet, attracting major-label interest and a reported $3 million deal with Hallwood Media. Suno faces lawsuits from Sony, Universal, and Warner alleging its AI was trained on copyrighted material. Suno also raised $250 million in Series C funding, valuing it at $2.4 billion.
