Same - and their insistence on just holding to that simple view that they have every right to train AI on copyright will surely be their undoing, as it leaves zero room for interpretation.
Re: Apple, I suppose it depends from whose perspective you are asking the question. If I was an artist and I could simply make more money this way, then maybe not?
I feel like the real winner is actually YouTube (not YouTube music, the general version) : though the streaming quality is usually inferior (especially if you forget to switch to HD viewing), it's become like the encyclopedia of video and audio, also cause you can get an ad blocker and you don't need to pay for the premium version. PS: Vulfpeck are really an example of how being real good musicians, consistent and thinking out of the box still wins over everything
Apple need to get the basics right - de-bug, sort lossless/hi-res streaming issues (yes, these are a thing even if you are on the updated OS blah blah blah). Tracks that skip every time you start a stream does make you wonder, and changing streaming bit rate inter-stream too
Unfortunately, Apple is more likely to go the other way: most mega-corporations, when they see a competitor benefit from doing an unethical act, will seek to follow suit; viewing it as market "permission" to be worse. It usually takes several years before a competitor in an oligopoly market does a strategic about-face, just about the time that the benefit from the move reverts to the mean.
I don’t see anyway anthropic wins that case. Also, do you think the 90/10 split would matter if Apple couldn’t get more listeners on the platform?
