Interesting story. If the Trump administration achieves a majority in congress, despite his 2020 overtures, I very much doubt there will be any movement on 230, because Musk and all the free speech advocates will ensure that X, among others is protected.

All three factions—the incoming government, Universal and "the indies" seem set serve their own constituents. As for this case itself, it might also be a precedent in advance of gen-AI, which will only flood consumers with "stack it high" music.

For me, the question that remains is—rightly or wrongly, labels have historically been strong on protectionism, but weak on innovation, so what is different this time?
