OpenAI copyright case: fair-use brief sparks fight over stem separation vs generative AI
TuhinChakr · x · 2026-11-03
A new brief in the OpenAI copyright case, filed with Grammy-winning drummer Trevor Lawrence Jr. and the Abundance Institute, argues that training on copyrighted works to learn patterns — not copy them — is fair use, warning a permission rule would hurt independent musicians most. Futureofmusic pushed back, saying the brief contains obvious errors: stem separation technology is not generative AI, and the filers either don't know the difference or assume the court won't.
