#SoundCloud changes its TOS again after an #AI uproar. #Music-sharing platform SoundCloud is saying it “has never used artist content to train AI models,” and that it’s “making a formal commitment that any use of AI on SoundCloud will be based on consent, transparency, and artist control.”

The revised terms of service now say:

"We will not use Your Content to train generative AI models that aim to replicate or synthesize your voice, music, or likeness without your explicit consent, which must be affirmatively provided through an opt-in mechanism."

Much better!

And another update from SoundCloud support:

"With our upcoming Terms of Use update, SoundCloud will not use your content to train generative AI models unless you’ve explicitly given consent via an opt-in mechanism.

That means by default, your content will not be used for AI training, so no action is required on your part to protect your content."

And they linked to a letter from their CEO.

"SoundCloud has never used artist content to train AI models. Not for music creation. Not for large language models. Not for anything that tries to mimic or replace your work."

Sortie de route #2 – follow-up

C'était finalement plutôt rapide et assez simple : la page Faircamp est mise en place. Je l'ai intégrée à mon site, tu peux y accéder en cliquant dans le menu sur "ma musique" (là-haut), ou la consulter en standalone à l'adresse https://faircamp.morayner.org. Tu peux même y acheter ma musique si elle te plaît! J'ai quand même tenu parole et fini de bidouiller une page bandcamp histoire d'être référencée et audible sur au moins un gros site (même si je ne pense pas ramasser […]

Not a very satisfying response.

"SoundCloud has never used any artist content to train AI models, nor do we develop AI tools or allow third parties to scrape or use SoundCloud-hosted content for AI training purposes. [...]

At this time, there is no opt-out mechanism available."

Two things!

1st: New track
#release: "Goin' Mirlo".

Why is that?

2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from
#Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.

What remains there is an
#antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so :)

I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.

If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.

Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to
#Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo@musician.social . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .

You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your
#music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.
