Drake: the AI diss track that tested publicity rights for the dead https://wearethemusicmakers.co/news/2024/04/tupac-estate-drake-taylor-made-ai-voice-publicity-rights Tupac Shakur's estate sent Drake a cease-and-desist over the AI-voiced "Taylor Made Freestyle" and he pulled the track from Instagram and X within days. He folded without a court testing the estate's claim, and under California law as it stood then, a song was exactly the kind of work the dead's publicity right exempted. California's AB 1836 has since closed much of that gap. Fri, 26 Apr 2024 04:30:00 GMT We are the music makers artist-rightsvoice-rightsaipublicity-rights
