IMAGEN FAMILY TAKEN DOWN...NOW MUSICFX?
i know that musicFX and musicFX DJ aren't super well known, but i wanted to bring up that they are being taken down and suffering the same fate as the Imagen family. i really felt that musicFX DJ was able to nail specific genres of music that were really niche and unrepeatable on newer models like Lyria 3.
what was shocking to me was that the reason musicFX and DJ were able to generate very niche music genres was because of a strange legal loophole Google found. Google is currently arguing in court that the fine print of the YouTube terms of service gives them the right to use anything you upload to train their AI models. essentially, they are claiming they have permission to use your uploads to build their AI.
because of this, Lyria 3 is currently facing a massive copyright lawsuit from independent artists right now, and i hope it doesn't cause all the good tools to go down like Imagen and musicFX...
i just wanted to throw that out there just in case you use musicFX or musicFX DJ. they both shut down permanently on july 31st.
