A sample is a fundamental part of a song’s output, not just its input. If LLMs are changing the input’s work to a high enough degree is it not protected as a transformative work?
it's more like a collage of everyone's words. it doesn't make anything creative because ot doesn't have a body or life or real social inputs you could say. basically it's just rearranging other people's words.
A song that's nothing but samples. but so many samples it hides that fact. this is my view anyway.
and only a handful of people are getting rich of the outputs.
if we were in some kinda post capitalism economy or if we had UBI it wouldn't bother me really. it's not the artists ego I'm sticking up for, but their livelihood
