We need an assumed and exclusive right to our own likenesses and fast.

Beware: AI companies really want to sell a terrible solution to the problem they created.

Doesn't even matter. The systems they built for copyright enforcement are absolute shit and easily abused if you have a lot of money, as designed. And with AI added to the mix, it's all automated so none of it will work as it should and they don't care to fix it. Disney or whoever can just launch constant copyright claims and cripple small IP owners even when they're completely in the wrong.

If we all know this why hasn't there been a class action lawsuit, and don't give me the arbitration keeps people from trying. As we have learned with this American administration, do it fast enough that the courts can't respond amd maybe you can force it.

Class action lawsuits happen when lawyers are motivated, not when people suffer.

We do, AI companies just don't respect it.

More importantly, platforms don't respect it. Any malicious outside actor shouldn't be allowed to their malice.

Misleading title. This isn't an "AI Company". As far as I can tell, it's some scammer that used AI Tools to create similar music and then copyright strike the original artist to steal their revenue.

The major issue here is how YouTube handles these claims. From the article:

YouTube’s dispute process places enormous trust in whoever files the claim, with little built-in protection for independent artists who lack legal resources.

This isn't something new and was already being done before AI tools were available.

Same scam as before, just made a lot easier by AI bullshit unfortunately.
