If you reproduce those songs and charge a subscription fee for anyone to use them you will be going to court. If you use samples of a song (which I think is much closer to an LLM) you will pay per sample use.

Also, comparing a human to a service that runs on billions of dollars of infrastructure is silly.

No one is arguing that AI LM's can reproduce copyrighted material verbatim.

I have AI LMs running locally on my GPU. They cost less than a photocopier or CD burner to operate. Pennies.
